HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

State Institution “V. Danilevsky Institute for Endocrine Pathology Problems of the NAMS of Ukraine" began its activities in Kharkiv in November 1919 as the Organotherapeutic Institute of the Kharkiv Medical Society. Since that time, the development of endocrinology in our country began.

The creation of the Institute became the embodiment of the scientific ideas of its founder and first director, a world-famous scientist, academician Vasily Yakovlevich Danilevsky.

At the time of its creation, the Institute’s team was faced with the tasks of factory production of organopreparations, research of their biological properties and clinical trials; study of endocrine diseases and development of treatment methods. Simultaneously with the development of the Institute, the formation of endocrinology in our country took place.

Over time, new domestic and world achievements and discoveries in studying the endocrine glands adjusted the directions of scientific research of the Institute, and its structure and name changed periodically:

1927 – Ukrainian Organotherapeutic Institute;

1930 - All-Ukrainian Institute for Endocrinology and Organotherapy;

1941 - Ukrainian Institute for Experimental Endocrinology;

1964 - Kharkiv Research Institute for Endocrinology and Chemistry of Hormones;

1992 - Ukrainian Research Institute for Pharmacotherapy of Endocrine Diseases of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine;

2000 - V. Danylevsky Institute for Endocrine Pathology Problems of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine;

2011 - State institution "V. Danylevsky Institute for Endocrine Pathology Problems of the NAMS of Ukraine".

In due time, in the Institute employed scientists whose names are associated with the creation of well-known not only in Ukraine scientific schools, the traditions of which are continued today by their followers, scientists of the new generation.
