Clinical training and research practice
In 2025, Ekaterina graduated with distinction from Northern State Medical University in Arkhangelsk with a degree in Dentistry. She is currently in the second year of an Orthodontics residency at Sechenov University in Moscow.
Ekaterina combines her clinical training with research in paediatric and adolescent dentistry, dental epidemiology and salivary biomarkers. Her work applies evidence-based medicine, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and medical statistics.
A separate strand of her work focuses on applied solutions: a digital service for statistical analysis and technologies for the storage and transportation of traumatised teeth. This profile brings together clinical practice, research methodology and scientific innovation projects.

Scientific and innovation projects
Three scientific and innovation projects with distinct tasks and roles.
Project lead
Student Startup, Round III
StatExpress service
Development of the StatExpress service for statistical data analysis
- Problem
- Researchers need a specialised digital service for carrying out statistical analysis of their data.
- Practical value
- The project combines medical statistics, research methodology and digital product development.
Project contributor
Student Startup, Round IV
Portable storage and transportation system for traumatised teeth
Development of a portable system for the storage and transportation of traumatised teeth
- Problem
- An avulsed tooth or fragment must be safely preserved before professional dental care is available.
- Practical value
- The portable solution is intended for emergency dentistry, medical stations, first-aid services and adults accompanying children.
Project lead
Competition for young researchers at NSMU in priority areas of scientific and innovation development, 2024-2025
Specialised solution for storing and transporting teeth and fragments
Development of a specialised solution for storing and transporting teeth or fragments as part of emergency dental care for traumatic dental injuries
- Problem
- During storage and transportation, it is important to preserve the viability of cells in a damaged tooth or its fragments.
- Practical value
- A specialised medium may increase the likelihood of preserving and subsequently restoring the tooth.
