The Council for State Support for the Creation and Development of World-Class Research Centres resolved to set up WCRCs involving research centres and the institutes of the Russian Health Ministry as part of the priority area “Personalized medicine, high-tech healthcare and health-preserving technologies”. The meeting of the Council was headed by Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova. The list of approved WCRCs was published on the website of the Russian Government (http://government.ru/news/40291).
Further to the discussions, the list of 10 WCRCs in 6 priority areas was approved, 4 WCRCs being established in the priority area “Personalized medicine, high-tech healthcare and health-preserving technologies”.
The WCRC for Digital Biodesign and Personalized Health Care will be created by Sechenov University, Ivannikov Institute for System Programming, Novgorod State University named after Yaroslav the Wise, Orekhovich Research Institute of Biomedical Chemistry and the Institute of Design and Technological Informatics of the RAS.
The WCRC for Personalized Medicine of Endocrine Diseases will be established at the National Medical Research Centre of Endocrinology.
