In 2018, Russia's first specialized laboratory based on NGS technology for HLA typing of potential bone marrow donors was launched. The capacity of the laboratory today is 25,000 typings per year. As part of a joint project of KFU and Rusfond CF on HLA-genotyping, an autonomous non-profit organization "Volga Region Bone Marrow Donor Registry" was registered with the Russian Ministry of Justice, which transfers phenotypes to the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry named after Vasya Perevoshchikov. At present, the registry already contains more than 31,000 donor phenotypes obtained in the KFU laboratory.
Scientific, clinical research, as well as the introduction of new methods of treatment, diagnosis and prevention are carried out at the NCC PRM to create targeted medicine - an integrated system of comprehensive treatment designed to rationally and timely address a patient's medical problems.
