From rams biography
Ott ”and the collective of the genomic medicine department with a deep regret reports that on September 1, the legendary geneticist, founder of prenatal diagnostics in Russia, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a doctor of medical science, chief geneticist of St. Petersburg and the chief scientist of the genomic medicine department of the Federal State Budgetary Institution“ Research Institute of Medicine of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “NII AGIR, was left in the year of life.
them. Ott ”, a professor at the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology of St. Petersburg State University, known for us and abroad, a scientist, a talented poet and professor Vladislav Baranov. Farewell to Vladislav Sergeevich will be held on Sunday September 4. The funeral and the funeral service will be held in the Nikolsky Cathedral in after the relatives will be organized by the evening.
The details will be later. Vladislav Sergeyevich devoted his whole life to scientific, educational and educational activities. Thanks to his efforts, inexhaustible energy and enthusiasm, our contemporaries have the opportunity to develop many scientific ideas in the field of genetics, embryology, prenatal diagnosis and in many other areas of biomedicine. Over the years of his labor biography in the walls of the institute, Vladislav Sergeyevich has achieved high successes in all the main areas of his scientific activity.
Under his leadership, it was: experimentally and theoretically substantiated a new scientific direction - the cytogenetics of the embryonic development of a person, within which fundamentally new data was obtained on the structural and functional organization of chromosomes in the process of human embryonic development. A set of methods and techniques of the prenatal diagnosis of hereditary and innate diseases of the fetus in the 1st and 2nd trims of pregnancy was developed and tested combined screening, a clinic of one day, invasive and non-invasive prenatal diagnosis; Which has been successfully introduced in St.
Petersburg and is currently widely used by numerous medical and genetic centers of the Russian Federation. Tens of thousands of healthy babies were born. He became the author of the idea of a “genetic passport” recognized by the world scientific community, and the concept of testing “genes of predisposition”, which have become a methodological base of a new scientific and practical direction-predictive preventive medicine.
The active introduction of V. Baranov’s scientific developments from a year ensured the objectivation of the assessment of the individual predisposition of a person to the development of various diseases and pathological conditions, the personification of pharmacotherapy, and contributed to the improvement of the patient's quality of life. Recently, V. Baranov has actively worked on the concept of “genetic map of reproductive health” and the idea of preconditional genetic screening of couples planning pregnancy.
Under its leadership, scientific approaches to genetic therapy of a number of severe neuromuscular and some frequent complex diseases of endometriosis were developed; New promising carriers of genetically engineering structures were proposed, a successful pharmacogenetic treatment of fatal hereditary disease was carried out for the first time-the Verdnig-Goffman's spinal muscle atrophy and the start of this serious illness in St.
Petersburg is launched. In recent years, he devoted a lot of time to his youthful dream - the development of a hypothesis about the periodic system of living beings. Vladislav Sergeyevich is the author of numerous experimental and theoretical works on teratology, embryology, cytogenetics, molecular diagnostics, genetic therapy, predictive medicine, pre -interpretation screening, preimplacies of genetic testing, heads of monographs and guidelines issued both in Russia and abroad; The author and co -author of many monographs, books on prenatal diagnosis, textbooks and methodological recommendations on medical genetics.
Under the leadership of Vladislav Sergeyevich, more doctoral, candidate dissertations, bachelor's, master's and thesis were protected. He was a member of two dissertation councils, a member of the editorial board of six leading domestic and foreign scientific journals. He conducted fruitful work as a member of the Council of the St. Petersburg branch of the Vavilov Society of Geneticists and breeders, the reign of the Russian Society of Medical Genetics.

Davidenkov for the best work on medical genetics Vladislav Sergeyevich, we knew as a person who could think non -standard and rationally use his capabilities. One of his main features is to continuously learn something new.He was a gifted poet, a passionate hunter, a photographer-a disintections, a person who is able to see beauty and harmony in everything that surrounds him.

He knew how to smooth out corners, find compromise solutions both in life and at work, could unite completely different people with a common idea, be the first, but was not afraid when others picked up his ideas. He thought, wrote, loved, inspired, tried to leave a bright mark in every step, experienced joy from luck and scientific finds, was upset from unconfirmed hypotheses. He was sincere, alive, always wanted us to be the same patriots of our craft, or even better.
Vladislav Sergeyevich found a continuation in each of us, and his death is a severe loss for everyone. We deeply grieve and express our condolences to the relatives, friends and colleagues of Vladislav Sergeyevich.
