SCAMT laboratory is one of the most dynamically developing laboratories in Russia and world-wide. Its creation

was initiated by Vladimir and Alexander Vinogradov together with the scientific backing of Prof. David Avnir from

the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Established in October 2014 with only 4 Master students, the laboratory

developed and expanded very quickly. Already in 2015, several new independent research groups were

established, focusing on sol-gel chemistry, theoretical chemistry and inkjet printing. Following efforts were

dedicated for the creation of a strong educational program, aimed at the best students from all over the world. As a

consequence, a well-equipped educational preparatory laboratory for Bachelor students was opened, and a highlevel

Department for Master and PhD students was established, as well. All of this activity culminated recently in

the establishment of a ChemBio cluster (where SCAMT laboratory is a scientific department), engaged in

fundamental and applied research, tightly integrated into the educational process. Currently SCAMT laboratory

consists of 10 independent research groups engaged in various interdisciplinary projects ranging from chemistry,

to materials science, to food science, to microbiology and more. This broad scope, allows us to solve critical

problems of modern society and to offer solutions to global needs facing humanity.
