Research Institute of Medical Genetics of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center

The Research Institute of Medical Genetics of the Tomsk NRMC is one of the leading medical and genetic institutions in Russia, integrated into the international scientific community.

Research Institute of Medical Genetics of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center

Its core areas of clinical and research focus includes

The Institute’s mission is to identify the fundamental bases of the etiology and pathogenesis of human hereditary diseases; to develop and implement advanced technologies for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hereditary and congenital pathologies; to train and develop human resources in the field of medical genetics; and to promote medical genetics as a priority independent discipline that will shape the future of biomedical science.

The Institute’s activities include conducting fundamental and applied scientific research, providing high-tech and specialized medical and genetic care to the population, implementing educational programs in the field of medical genetics, and providing methodological and coordination support to medical and genetic services in Siberia and the Far East.

Main research areas

Identifying the fundamental bases of the etiology and pathogenesis of hereditary diseases, studying the structural and functional organization of the human genome, the epigenetic mechanisms of hereditary information implementation, and the molecular and cytogenetic bases of human ontogenesis;

Studying the genetic diversity of human populations, the structure and evolution of the population gene pool, and the patterns of formation of the genetic load in populations, including on the basis of whole-genome data;

Investigating the genetic bases of susceptibility to multifactorial diseases and their comorbidity;

Exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying socially significant diseases using genomic, post-genomic, and cellular technologies;

Developing and implementing new technologies for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hereditary diseases.
