About the center
The International Center of Molecular Allergology under the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
History and status
The International Center for Molecular Allergology was established by Resolution No. 865 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 25 October 2018 “On the establishment of the International Center for Molecular Allergology under the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan”, with the aim of developing research, diagnostic, educational and industrial innovation in molecular allergology and aerobiology, introducing molecular and other advanced methods of diagnosing and treating allergic diseases, and improving the quality of medical services. Under Annex 4 to Presidential Resolution No. PQ-200 of 3 July 2023 “On measures for the effective organisation of public administration in higher education, science and innovation as part of administrative reforms”, the Center became part of the Innovative Development Agency under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Today the Center operates under the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The International Center for Molecular Allergology under the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the Center) is a public institution conducting research on allergic diseases at the molecular level and developing innovative treatments, as well as studying the spread of plant pollen and fungal spores, how they change with environmental factors, and their impact on human health.
The Center aims to make its research practical and effective, improve the quality of medical services, fulfil the tasks set out in its Charter, provide services and generate income. In its work the Center collaborates closely with the Republican Specialised Scientific Center of Allergology of the Ministry of Health, the Institute of Immunology and Human Genomics of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and other research institutions.
Today the Center provides diagnostic and treatment services based on advanced technologies that meet international standards.
