Uliana Tsoi, MD, PhD
Head of Laboratory

Research objectives

  • Clinical and molecular genetic characteristics of pituitary, adrenal and neuroendocrine tumors, as well as CVD during these disorders
  • Prognostic factors to predict transsphenoidal surgery effect in the treatment of hormone-active pituitary adenomas
  • Response markers and resistance to drug therapy in acromegaly patients
  • Diagnostic modalities of PET/CT for neuroendocrine tumors
  • Molecular genetic predictors of endocrine tumors in children and adults
  • Automated decision support system for the choice of treatment tactics in amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis

Training and education

Professional advanced training courses on the «Topical issues of neuroendocrinology», «Adrenal gland diseases» and residency programme in «Endocrinology». Lectures for endocrinologists at the Postgraduate Education Department of the Medical Education Institute of Almazov Centre. Supervision of students in clinical residency.

Clinical activities

The specialists of the Laboratory provide consultations, diagnostic and treatment services to the patients at the Diagnostic Centre and endocrinology units of Almazov Centre.
