The European University at St. Petersburg, Medical Institute named after Berezin Sergey and Tarusa hospital conducted two observational studies to assess the effectiveness of vaccination against symptomatic infection caused by the Delta variant in St. Petersburg.

Our interdisciplinary seminars are dedicated to public health. We have already conducted seminars devoted to such topics as medicalization, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination, and medical journalism.  

Registries collect and store information about people with cancer – their demographic characteristics, the type of tumor, the type of treatment. Institute for Interdisciplinary Health Research is assessing the comparability and validity of cancer statistics in regions of the Northwestern Federal District (NWFD) of Russia.
