NEARMEDIC was founded 20 years ago in 1989, by the group of like-minded researchers of the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences. The objective of the new enterprise was to collect their research and development know-how and apply it to the introduction of products and services in diagnostics & pharmaceuticals for prevention and treatment of different infectious diseases.
The establishment and expansion of a diagnostic business allowed NEARMEDIC to support innovative and applied research in medical infectology and immunology during a period when state financing of science was at a low level.
The first significant area of NEARMEDIC business activity was the development, manufacture and introduction into medical practice the modern high quality diagnostic kits for laboratory diagnostics, for the most significant human infectious diseases (e.g. HIV, viral hepatitis, syphilis and other STI, TORCH-infections, etc.).
