History edit

The Institute was founded on July 30, 1920 by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR as the All-Ukrainian X-ray Academy.[1]

In 1925, it was renamed to the Ukrainian X-ray and Radiological Institute, which was reorganized on December 15, 1955 by order No. 591 of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine into the Kharkov Scientific Research Institute of Medical Radiology with the main scientific focus called "Scientific Foundations of Medical Radiology".According to the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1232 from 7 August 2000, the Institute was transferred to the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine and renamed as State Organization “Grigoriev Institute for Medical Radiology of the National Academy of Medical Science of Ukraine” (Order of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine No. 51 from September 29, 2000).[citation needed]

Mission edit

For the last 20 years, the institute acts as the chief clinical research body in Ukraine in areas of radiation and clinical oncology,[2] radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, treatment of radiation injuries,[3] clinical radiobiology[4] and radiation protection[5][6] of patients and medical personnel.

Research edit

All scientific and practical activities of the GIMR are aimed at the development and implementation into the healthcare applications of novel solutions in clinical oncology, radiation diagnostics, radiotherapy, radiation pathology, dosimetry[7] and hygiene of medical irradiations.[8]

National and international collaborations edit

Scientific interactions with Western and international scientific institutions include a long term cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (Vienna, Austria), the Center of Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards of the Public Health England (former Health Protection Agency, earlier the National Radiological Protection Board, the UK)[9] and various institutions in EU countries via collaboration within the CEC-EU funded research programs.[10]
