Laboratory of Nervous System Pathology
Yulia Zabrodskaya, MD, DScHead of Laboratory
.
History
The Pathology Laboratory of Polenov Neurosurgical Institute was established as a scientific unit the same year as the institute was founded, in 1926. Modern areas of research and a scientific basis were laid by Prof. Yuri Medvedev who headed the laboratory for more than 30 years (from 1985 to 2008).
Since 2008, the head of the Laboratory has been Yulia Zabrodskaya, one of the leading experts in neuropathology.
The Laboratory of Nervous System Pathology has a highly qualified team of 10 specialists that have been successfully elaborating on the fundamental problems in neuroscience and neurosurgical practice.
Newly developed and implemented technologies
The specialists of the research laboratory have developed and implemented medical technologies for the pathoanatomical diagnosis of brain diseases using post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging and post-mortem detection of hemodynamically significant stenosis of cerebral arteries.
