HIV drug development under way, gets Skolkovo support June 02, 2016, 10:55

Viriom, a biomedical developer and asset of the ChemRar High Tech Center in Khimki outside Moscow, has been working on Russia’s first HIV solution which is expected to go beyond import substitution-an across-the-board goal the Russians have been pursuing in many sectors since the current crisis and western sanctions began-and offer «high potential for international commercialization.»

The new drug candidate’s safety, high efficacy and tolerance are said to have been proven during five rounds of phases 1 and 2 clinical trial testing. Phase 3 of clinical trials is currently under way in 18 AIDS prevention centers across Russia.

The Skolkovo Foundation, which is managing Russia’s most widely touted innovation hub just outside Moscow, earlier this year approved a new $2.2m grant for the next stage of the effort.

A little video game-playing 'linked with better-adjusted children'

A new study suggests video game-playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children and teenagers. The research, carried out by Oxford University, found that young people who indulged in a little video game-playing were associated with being better adjusted than those who had never played or those who were on video games for three hours or more. The study finds no positive or negative effects for young people who played ‘moderately’ between one to three hours a day. However, the study, published in the journal, Pediatrics, suggests that the influence of video games on children, for good or for ill, is very small when compared with more ‘enduring’ factors, such as whether the child is from a functioning family, their school relationships, and whether they are materially deprived.
