Global challenges addressed:
- Increased mortality rates from dangerous diseases
- Lack of effective technologies for diagnostics and treatment of deadly socially important diseases
- Lack of multidisciplinary specialists in engineering physics for life sciences and medicine
- Gap between science, education, manufacturing of biomedical devices and practical medicine
Strategic goal:
Achievement of leading positions in the development of technologies of engineering physics for biomedicine and their active employment in the educational process in order to bridge the gap between scientific research, education, device manufacturing and practical medicine.

Development of breakthrough technologies for diagnostics and therapy of cancer and other socially important diseases using unique functional nanomaterials and novel advanced nanoengineering methods based on photonics, radiofrequency, nuclear, ultrasound, magnetic and other modalities:
- Development of diagnostic nanoprobes based on highly oriented conjugates of biocompatible fluorescent nanoparticles and single-domain antibodies for early cancer diagnosis
- “Green” laser-ablative synthesis of novel classes of novel non-toxic nanomaterials and their use as contrast agents, sensitizers and transport vehicles in tasks of cancer nano-theranostics
- Development of novel nanophotosensitizers and medical instruments on their basis for diagnostics and therapies of socially important deceases
- Development of prospective technologies and radiopharmaceuticals for nuclear medicine
- Development of novel efficient pattern recognition computer methods for early cancer diagnosis and therapy
The uniqueness of our approach is the integrated use of mutually complementary nanoengineering methods (synthesis of nanomaterials, their functionalization and optimization for a specified bioimaging or therapeutic procedure) for early cancer diagnosis, imaging of malignant cells, and their elimination using photonic, ultrasound, radiofrequency, magnetic, and nuclear techniques.
- Development and implementation of prospective educational programs that correspond to strategic PhysBio development plans, including programs in nanomedicine, nuclear medicine, computer medicine, medical device development
- Training of engineers-physicists, who are supposed to develop and maintain highly sophisticated biomedical instruments; training of medical doctors, capable of operating with novel biomedical equipment and related instrumentation
- Development and implementation of co-educational programs with world-leading universities, including dual-degree programs
- Development of modular education programs and courses
31 educational programs was available in 2016 in PhysBio from which 6 are Bachelor's degree programs, 16 are Master's degree programs, 3 are Specialist's degree programs, and 6 are Postgraduate student’s degree programs. 14 of them are new, the others – modernized.
