Kyrgyzstan launches advanced labs to boost scientific research and innovation
Kyrgyzstan to open new scientific labs in AI, medicine, and environment as universities gear up for advanced research push
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (MNTV) — In a major push to strengthen scientific research and innovation, Kyrgyzstan is setting up advanced laboratories across five major universities as part of a national project titled “Quality and Innovation in Higher Education.”
Speaking at a press conference, Deputy Minister of Science, Higher Education and Innovation Nurlan Omurov said the new labs will help prepare Kyrgyz universities for cutting-edge research and better train students for future scientific careers.
The project is designed to modernize higher education and drive innovation in critical fields such as medicine, artificial intelligence, environmental safety, and food science.
According to a report by 24.kg, the Kyrgyz State Medical Academy (KSMA) will open a biomedical research and innovation center with three specialized labs: molecular genetics, morphological research, and drug bioequivalence.
The academy will also introduce new academic programs in biomedicine, biotechnology, nutrition, and medical engineering.
Osh State University will house a new cancer research center, equipped with a digital mammography machine, an AI-powered angiography system, and an MRI scanner. It will include laboratories for histology and immunohistochemistry to support oncology studies.
At the Kyrgyz State Technical University, a center for applied artificial intelligence and cybersecurity will be established. It will include five labs focused on AI, cybersecurity, industrial automation, and real-world problem-solving in areas such as disaster response, education, and medicine.
The Kyrgyz National Agrarian University (KNAU) will develop a research and innovation center for food and biological safety. It will produce diagnostic test systems like PCR and ELISA, and also cultivate virus-free planting material for agriculture, with commercialization planned for domestic use.
Meanwhile, the Kyrgyz National University will set up a center for water, chemical, and environmental safety. The center will host three labs for environmental, microbiological, and chemical-analytical research. The goal is to carry out in-depth studies of water quality, aquatic life, and pollution using modern molecular methods.
The government hopes these efforts will lay the groundwork for long-term scientific development and innovation across key sectors of the Kyrgyz economy, positioning the country to take on urgent challenges in health, climate, and technology.
