Under the guidance of the head of the Department, Professor T.V. Mokhort, the teaching staff is carrying out research work “Optimization of treatment and diagnostic technologies for common endocrine diseases” for the period 2023-2028.
Within the framework of this topic, studies are being conducted to assess the cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2, cardiorenal syndrome in diabetes mellitus type 2, pathology of the musculoskeletal system in endocrine pathology, assessment of iodine status of the population of the Republic of Belarus, hyperandrogenism and hyperprolactinemia.
The staff of the department, together with the Institute of Biophysics and Cell Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, are conducting clinical trials of a method for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus using BCP-tolDCs, which are capable of suppressing antigen-specific activation and proliferation of B- and T-cells, production of autoantibodies, and hence clinical effectiveness in the treatment of autoimmune diseases is predicted.
Active work continues together with the BOMO "Endocrinology and Metabolism" (www.endocrinology.by) on scientific substantiation of improving the quality of medical care to the population in the field of endocrine diseases and metabolic disorders, support of scientific, creative and entrepreneurial initiatives in the field of public health protection, improving the level of professional training of medical workers and the prestige of medical professions.
The department staff takes an active part in holding regional, national and international scientific conferences. The results of the staff's research are regularly widely published and reported at national and international conferences.
