The Institute was founded in 1890 under imperial sponsorship on the initiative of Prince A.P. Ol'denburgskii as the first Russian center for comprehensive research into the fundamental problems of biology and medicine. The charter of the Institute of Experimental Medicine was drawn up by Academician Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849–1936), who was heavily involved in its organization and who for many years was honorary Chairman of the Council and Head of the Physiology Division. In 1918 the Institute came under the jurisdiction of the People’s Commissariat of Public Health of the RSFSR. In 1932 the Institute was reorganized as the All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine (VIEM) under the Council of People’s Commissars, and in 1934 it was transferred to Moscow, leaving the Leningrad institute as a branch. After the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR (AMN SSSR) was established in 1944, the Leningrad branch was reorganized under its original name as the Institute of Experimental Medicine, and became one of its most important divisions of the AMN SSSR. Its present name dates to 1992. The Library of the Institute of Experimental Medicine was founded in 1891. The Museum of the History of the Institute was opened in 1989 to mark the centenniel of the founding of the Institute. This museum resulted from the reorganization of the I.P. Pavlov Museum Laboratory (Muzei-laboratoriia akademika I.P. Pavlova), which had itself been founded under the Leningrad Branch of the A.M. Gor'kii Institute of Experimental Medicine in 1939. |
