MNUMS professor G.Ulziijargal was awarded the Prize for her research on the forms, epidemic spread and special features of Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB) for the first time in Mongolia. Her research has paved the way for not only Mongolia, but the whole world to discovering a new approach for diagnosing TB on the molecular stage and biological level.
Dr. E.Uyanga, a researcher at the Physics and Technology Institute, received the Prize for her research which enabled creation of excellent-quality, high-temperture-resistant, low-cost and corrosion-resistant catalyzation material through synthesis, and introduction of such technology to Mongolia, especially in par with the Institute’s laboratory conditions.
A research paper titled “Issue of Citizenship in Mongolia-Russia Relations of the XVII Century” has earned Dr. B.Natsagdorj the Presidential Prize of this year.
