HISTORY OF THE LABORATORY

In December 2008 the Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory united the Endocrinology Laboratory with the Biochemistry Laboratory and the Clinical Group of the Clinical Immunology Laboratory; this led to the optimization of the laboratory service. The main focus of the Endocrinology Laboratory was the study of the hormonal regulation mechanisms of the reproductive system and determination of hormones level in different biological materials under certain conditions.

The core staff of the laboratory is doctors of clinical laboratory diagnostics, biologists, and laboratory assistants.

The Laboratory specialists are actively engaged in scientific work: they are the authors of more than 500 articles published in Russian and foreign scientific journals. Some results of their research formed the basis of 5 fundamental studies, dedicated to the problems of reproductology.
