NewsIn the telecast "Zūmeri", Jēkabs from the 7. class recently visited the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre (6: 00-9: 20) to learn more about viruses and especially about SARS-CoV-2.
A doctoral student at the faculty of Biology of the University of Latvia Nineļa M. Vainšeļbauma is a capable young researcher at the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, who has focused on the cognize of malignancies at the molecular level. Her efforts to find a solution to combat the aggressive disease has been crown with success, namely, observed so far an undescribed phenomenon in the process of dividing cancer cells.
Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre - LV BMC director and Chairman of the Latvian Science Council Jānis Kloviņš explains, that researchers have now submitted more than 200 ideas to national research projects. Kloviņš consider that in the forthcoming competition regulations should also put a significant emphasis on the institution cooperation, because in applications will be no shortage of overlapping themes.

Genome database of Latvian population (VIGDB) invites COVID-19-positive people to participate in the research of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the disease caused by it by donating their tissue samples.
How for a long will it be Covid-19? Will the virus recede itself, or while will find an antiviral medicine, or will discover a vaccine? It is being developed by scientists the whole world, as well as in Latvia. What are the results? Senior researcher of the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, Professor Kaspars Tārs 1: 1.

Latvian scientists discover 12 unique Covid-19 mutations. What does it mean and what does it give?
Jānis Kloviņš, Chairman of the Latvian Council of Science and Director of the Latvian Biomedical Research and Studies centre says, that in researching the new coronavirus genome, Latvian researchers have been further than scientists in other countries.
Scientists of the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, researching the genomes of the viruses "SARS-CoV-2" occurring in Latvia, have discover, that the virus has come to us from China, Belgium, France and Germany. In addition, several unique mutations have been detect in the genetic code of the virus occurring in Latvia. How, spreading in Latvia, the virus has could to changing and what about evidenced by these mutations tells Director of the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre, Prof. Jānis Kloviņš.
