Siberian Research Institute of Hyperthermia was established by Novosibirsk State Medical University in 2002.

The main scientific and practical directions of the institute are the development of protocols and schemes for heat treatment (general hyperthermia) of HIV infection, hepatitis C, as well as the prevention of cancer progression and AIDS.

The Institute actively cooperates with scientists from the Cancer Institute in Washington, the Institute of Applied Medicine in Dresden, the University Hospitals of Rome and Milan, as well as with the departments of clinical hyperthermia in Minsk and Obninsk.

Leading members of the Institute, being official members of the International Society of Clinical Hyperthermia (ICHS), participate in the annual congresses held by this society.
