CHRONOMEDICINE

The CHRONOMEDICINE

research group was established in 2000 in CRIRR of Russian Public Health Ministry based in the clinical radiology department. In 2007, CRIRR was reorganized into the Russian Research Centre for Radiology and Surgical Technologies.

The Chronomedicine research group consists of three research workers who investigate the following areas:

1. Development of chronodiagnostic methods that employ modern computer technologies;

2. Perfection of chronooptimization methods of combined treatment in oncology;

3. Creation of palliative anti-tumor therapy methods based on a chronobiomedical approach;

4. Introduction of methods of synchronous combined anti-tumor therapy that take into account the types of toxicity from medicines and exposure to irradiation;

5. Study of the full range of factors that influence the toxic effects of physical and chemical agents;

6. Development and perfection of hardware and software for monitoring the main indices of the patient’s vital functions;

7. Individualization of combined treatment schemes in oncology based on the patient’s chronobiological indices.
