The establishment and development of the Scientific School of Transplantologists founded by the Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences M.Sh. Khubutiya

Introduction. One of the fundamental prerequisites for the creation and the development of a scientific school is the leading, fundamental role of its founder, a major, outstanding scientist. The School of Transplantologists founded by the RAS Academician, Prof M.Sh. Khubutiya has been one of such school which activity has not been paid due attention in scientific publications.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the activities of the scientific school founded by the RAS Academician M.Sh. Khubutiya over a 20-year period in a historical context, to assess its contribution to the development of Russian Transplantology.

Material and methods. In the course of this study, a bibliographic search was performed in available specialized biomedical homeland and foreign electronic databases (DBs): Russian State Library (https://www.rsl.ru/ru/about/funds/disser); Central Scientific Medical Library, including RusMed (https://medj.rucml.ru/quest); PubMed/MEDLINE (https://www.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Patent documentation was verified on the websites of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (https://www.fips.ru/) and Google Patents (https://patents.google.com/patent). To collect information on M.Sh. Khubutiya's publications, the resources of the scientific and medical library of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care (RIEC) were also utilized. Its collections, catalogs, and card indexes formed the basis for further in-depth research, in which its staff provided significant assistance. Documentary and photographic materials from the HR Department and the Scientific and Organizational Department of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care were also utilized.

Results. The Scientific School of Prof. M.Sh. Khubutiya, the Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences is a large and respected national school of versatile transplantologists in Russia, whose research continues and develops the ideas, views, and methodological approaches proposed by the teacher. The scientific achievements of M.Sh. Khubutiya's School are highly relevant and innovative. A number of the scientific school studies and research are of a fundamental and applied nature. A distinctive feature of the scientific School of M.Sh. Khubutiya is its extensive scientific and organizational activities aimed at the establishment and development of Transplantation Programs in the Moscow Healthcare System, significantly increasing the accessibility of this type of socially significant and high-tech medical care for residents of the world's largest megapolis. The School's work is particularly important in creating public structures such as the Scientific Society of Transplantologists and the scientific and practical journal of «Transplantologiya», which are powerful tools for introducing new knowledge and technologies into the country's healthcare system.

Conclusion. M.Sh. Khubutiya's scientific School is characterized by its broad scope of research on organ and tissue transplantation, donation, and artificial organ creation, as well as the effective implementation of these findings through active training of specialists, targeted scientific and organizational activities, and the preparation of necessary regulatory documents. The School's work has significantly influenced the development of such a new and priority scientific field as organ and tissue transplantationy within the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine, the Moscow healthcare institution, and also far beyond.
