On April 23, 2021, the State Program «Science-intensive technologies and equipment» for 2021-2025 was approved by the resolution №245 of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus. The main goal of the State Program is the formation of a knowledge-based economy by ensuring the scientific, economic and geopolitical interests of the republic, national bioresource and environmental security, technological development of industries to achieve competitive advantages.
Work on scaling up the technology for synthesizing genes is already underway within the framework of the State Program. Artificial genes are widely used in biotechnology and scientific research to help fight disease. The technology for producing artificial genes is the basis of one of the strategies for expanding the genetic code.
In 2021, the Junior Researcher of the Protein Engineering Laboratory of the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Veronika Shchur, won the Grand Prix of the project «100 Ideas for Belarus» with a unique development of synthesizing artificial genes. The main goal of the young scientist is to introduce technology into production.
Research and innovation activities of young people act as a powerful engine of social development and economic growth of the country, and also make a significant contribution to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals by the Republic of Belarus 8, 9, 11 and others.
