Dear Colleagues,On behalf of the Organizing Committee let me welcome all the participants to the InternationalConference, which is dedicated this time to “Combating Global Diseases”, a topic which has been puton the list of research and applied activities of the Ministry for Public Health and Social Development ofthe Russian Federation for 2009.The growth of disease incidence with respect to viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, viral enteric infections,on the one hand, and potential risk of bioterrorism on the other, pose a severe threat to globalsecurity today. New infectious diseases (i.e., newly detected), such as avian and pandemic flu areemerging; the need for prophylaxis of “re-emerging” infections (malaria, viral hemorrhagic fever) is becomingmore pressing while no steady tendencies to the sickness rate reduction in terms of cholera,anthrax, plague and other highly dangerous infections are observed.This conference will contribute to the practical implementation of the decisions, made by the G8 memberstatesduring the summit meeting on combating global diseases (Saint Petersburg, 15-17 July, 2006), whichsuggest a global counterepidemic strategy.The guidelines, enclosed in the summit decisions, are targeted to global unified modernization of thepublic health systems:• Early diagnostics of newly emerging infections and prevention of their proliferation;• Construction and reinforcement of the relevant infrastructures; implementation of collectiveapproaches to training specialists and to human resource strategy in the public health, especially in thedeveloping countries;• Enhancement of the prophylactic component in combating global diseases;• Fund raising to implement global programs on combating infectious diseases;• Engagement of civilian institutions in counterepidemic activities;• Build-up of domestic potential in the developing countries to combat infectious diseases;• Raising the efficiency of population health protection measures in emergency situations.The above guidelines were taken as the basis to formulate the program and the list of basic topics to be addressedduring the conference. The conference will be attended by experts from the leading Russian/CISresearch institutions, representatives of public and international organizations in the public health sector;specialists from research centers of the US, Canada, Japan, Germany, France, Hungary, who will makepresentations. The program of the conference provides space for many challenging reports, coveringtopics like global infectious disease surveillance, including the use of molecular, information and communicationtechnologies.Some topical presentations will be made on treatment of infectious diseases and identification of theirresistance to drugs. A special focus of the conference will be on training and competency building of4
specialists in the post-graduation phase of education – a separate session will be dedicated to youngscientists. Being one of the conference organizers, the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology ofRospotrebnadzor is involved in an active collaboration with the World Health Organization, internationalcenters and organizations, foreign institutes and universities.CRIE provides a platform for the following centers: center for zoonotic diseases, collaborating withWHO; Federal Research and Methodical Center for AIDS Control; Russian Centers for: nosocomial infections,meningococcosis, purulent meningitis, shigellosis, salmonellosis, viral hepatitis, control of thestatus of collective immunity to infections, treated by means of specific prophylaxis; Center for MolecularDiagnostics of Infectious Diseases.The Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor has a great research potential, employing6 members of RAMS, 42 doctors of science, 23 professors, 50 PhDs, 7 Honored Workers of RFScience, 6 State Award Laureates, 17 RF Government and Academy Award Laureates. The Instituteacts as the Head Organization of the Research Council for Epidemiology, Infectious and Parasitic Diseases,established by a collective order, issued by the Health Ministry of the Russian Federation andRAMS, ensuring coordination and review of research on epidemiology and infection pathology problems,conducted in Russia.Today the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology under Rospotrebnadzor is one of the largest Russiandevelopers and manufacturers of products, alternative to imported ones, such as test-systems fordetecting a wide spectrum of infectious pathogens (HIV, viral hepatitis, avian and highly pandemic flu,tuberculosis etc,) by means of molecular diagnostics. The use of the above-mentioned test-systemsensures epidemiological safety of the Russian Federation. Active involvement of the Institute’s staff contributesto successful investigation of outbreaks of infectious diseases in various regions of the RussianFederation. Through basic and applied research and development the Institute creates innovation technologiesof infectious disease diagnostics (biochips, nanotechnologies).I hope, that this Conference on “Combating Global Diseases” will initiate interesting discussions, whichwould contribute significantly to the global epidemic security.Dear colleagues, your active involvement in the Conference program will provide an added value to ourefforts, focused on combating infectious diseases. Let me wish you further success in your profession.Co-Chair of the Organizing Committee of the ConferenceDirector of Federal State Science Institution“Central Research Institute of Epidemiology”under Rospotrebnadzoracademician of RAMSV.I.
