Kazakhstani Scientists Contribute to Clean Energy Research at Ohio State University
HYDROGENBIOFUELS
Three researchers from Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Ardak Kakimova, Sandugash Sandybayeva, and Yelena Zaparina, are conducting research on clean energy and mitochondrial diseases at Ohio State University through the Bolashak International Scholarship. They work with researcher Patrice Hamel, focusing on microalgae for biofuel production and investigating the impact of carbon sources on hydrogen production.
Zaparina’s research targets mitochondrial diseases caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA. The collaboration aims to enhance international perspectives in research and foster valuable knowledge exchange.
