Under the project, the biological activity and cytotoxic properties of new types of chemical drugs synthesized from SamSU will be studied at ACU.

Davlat Tukhtaev also took part in the international conference “Days of Chemistry” held at Afyon-Kozhatepe University on June 3-4 with a lecture on “Chemical industry and education in Uzbekistan”. He shared achievements in the field of chemistry in Uzbekistan, the development and current state of the chemical industry, as well as SamSU's experience in teaching chemistry.

For reference, ACU Professor Ibrohim Erol and Head of the Chemistry Department Professor Umar Hazman are both effective foreign professors at SamSU. He has led the research work of a number of SamSU researchers, particularly Gafur Khamidov, as well as a number of graduate students and researchers. Commemorative gifts were presented to Professors Ibrohim Erol and Umar Hazman for their contribution to strengthening the friendship between SamSU and ACU and achievements in scientific activities.
