Research directions

  • Development of test kits for the diagnosis of socially significant human diseases;
  • Investigation of genetic predisposition to multifactorial human diseases (breast cancer, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases);
  • Development of highly-effective test kits for diagnosis of infectious animal diseases;
  • Genotyping of bacteria and viruses;
  • Epidemiological and epizootological monitoring of functional characteristics and variability of genomes of human and animal infectious diseases.

Innovative developments

  • A kit for identification of histocompatibility complex based on DNA sequencing methods for use in clinical transplantology;
  • Diagnostic panel for estimation of individual drug dosage that reduces the risk of thrombosis;
  • Prototypes of real time PCR test kits for diagnosis of hepatitis B, C and G, Epstein-Barr virus, polyomavirus, cytomegalovirus; genotyping of human papilloma virus of high oncogenic risk;
  • A kit for comprehensive assessment of human predisposition to the development of gastritis, ulcer and stomach cancer based on the identification of virulence factors of Helicobacter pyloriand mutation of interleukin-1 beta encoding gene
