Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: February 18, 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the creation of the first Endocrinological Research Centre in Russia (the State Research Center of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “National Medical Research Center for Endocrinology” of the Russian Ministry of Health, Moscow). Over its 100-year history, the Centre has gone through stages of development from an “organotherapeutic laboratory”, the Institute of Organotherapeutic Preparations, the Institute of Experimental Endocrinology and Hormone Chemistry to the powerful State Scientific Center for Endocrinology — a leader in fundamental and applied scientific research in the field of endocrine diseases, a coordinator for the organization of endocrinological services and implementation of advanced technologies throughout the country. The hundred-year history of the ENC is reflected in the fate of its directors — world-famous scientists, starting from the founder of the entire endocrinological service of the country, Professor Vasily Dmitrievich Shervinsky.
