* Ethical permissions will be applied both in Moscow (Russia) and Stockholm (Sweden) to improve standards and avoid ethical concerns. Permissions from both countries will strengthen entire concept and emphasize the close collaboration of these two highly recognized institutions. This will also facilitate exchange and collaboration between researchers of both institutions. Selected researchers will participate in an exchange program learning cutting-edge methodologies and techniques at the Karolinska Institutet (Sweden). Methods and findings should be transferred and interchanged between both countries to improve and enlarge knowledge in this field.
