Morphological studies in the Endocrinology Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences

Abstract

The Laboratory of Experimental Morphology was founded in 1925, when the founder of the current Endocrinology Research Center (ERC) of the RAMS was an institution called the State Institute of Experimental Endocrinology. Among the leaders of this laboratory were a corresponding member. USSR Academy of Medical Sciences B.I. Lavrentiev, professors V.I. Kedrovsky, A.V. Rumyantsev, B.V. Aleshin, Y.M. Kabak, E.M. Vermel, E.I. Cockroaches. Over the past years, the structure and scientific interests of the laboratory have constantly changed, determined by the preferences of its leaders. From 1969 to the present, the laboratory was headed by I. G. Akmaev, whose scientific interests were firmly determined during his internship with the outstanding neuroendocrinologist J. Szentagotai at the University of Budapest. Continuing the traditions of this scientist, I.G. Akmaev focused the work of the laboratory on experimental studies that shed light on the poorly understood mechanisms of the hypothalamic nervous regulation of endocrine functions.
