Medical students Lia Bairamova and Andrei Kukushkin from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at BAU International University Batumi participated in the 18th ESMINT Congress, held in Marseille, France, from September 2–4, 2026. Their participation was fully funded by the university.

At the congress, they presented their research, “Differential interleukin-6 dynamics across systemic and cerebrospinal fluid compartment in acute neurovascular injury.” The congress gave the students an opportunity to learn about recent advances in neurointervention and minimally invasive neurological therapies, present their research to an international scientific audience, and gain valuable academic and research experience.

BAU International University Batumi continues to support students’ scientific and professional development and their participation in the international academic community.
