The guest lecture is organised by the Department of Internal Diseases together with the Department of Doctoral Studies.

The professor will provide an academic lecture , filled with scientific intrigue on the pathogenesis aspects of diabetes complications; the lecture is based on his scientific research results and critical analyses of scientific publications .

In his scientific works, the professor has searched for answers to universal molecular mechanisms of chronic diseases: endothelium as a biologically active system and a regulator of the coagulation system, endothelial dysfunctions connection with cytokines, the mechanism of chronic inflammatory and the significance of late complications in diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease and ageing pathogenesis.

Many of the professor’s research results take pride of place in textbooks and clinical monographs. At the same time, basing his arguments on molecular biological mechanisms, the professor often opposes customary medical dogmas.
