60 years have passed since the birth of the famous scientist biochemist-endocrinologist, head of the laboratory of biochemical endocrinology and hormonal analysis of the Endocrinology Research Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, doctor of medical sciences, professor Nikolai Petrovich Goncharov. He is a pioneer in the study of the synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones in primates; he developed and implemented an adequate experimental model within the framework of the WHO Human Reproduction program to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, efficacy and safety of both new steroid preparations and regulators of endocrine secretion of steroid hormones. A significant section of the research of N.P. Goncharov is devoted to a comparative study of the endocrine system of primates, the endocrine support of the stress response, the formation of the function of the endocrine glands in various periods of postnatal ontogenesis, and the role of steroid hormones in the pathogenesis of human leukemia. He is an author of about 200 scientific papers on various problems of hormone biochemistry and endocrinology.
