Research in this area aims to develop and refine the skills needed to perform both justice and practical health care tasks. The modernization of our society leads to the development of forensic science, and the priority is given to significant targeted challenges and requests of forensic and investigative practice. Current forensic medicine is a branch of medicine, rapidly developing due to the achievements of related natural science disciplines and information technologies. The article introduces the results of scientific research in forensic medicine, which are socially significant and aimed at solving expert tasks of national importance. The foundation for the regular education and the leading researches in the field of forensic science were laid down at the Department of Forensic Medicine at Sechenov University. On its basis a complex of topical scientific researches was carried out and breakthrough results were obtained on the following problematic issues: identification of personality, age-related morphology, forensic traumatology, morphological diagnosis of chronic drug intoxication, acute and chronic alcohol intoxication, and sudden death. The article describes the most significant achievements and identifies promising areas of research activities of the Y.I. Pigolkin’s scientific school.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Судебная медицина является наукой, которая объединяет общебиологические и медицинские знания. Исследования в данной области направленны на развитие и усовершенствование навыков, необходимых для выполнения задач как в области правосудия, так и практического здравоохранения. Условия совершенствования нашего общества обозначают новый вектор развития судебно-медицинских научных исследований, актуализируя приоритетность узконаправленных в соответствии со значимостью возникающих проблем и запросов судебно-медицинской и следственной практики. На современном этапе развития судебная медицина в качестве научной специальности является отраслью медицины, бурно развивающейся за счёт привлечения достижений смежных естественно-научных дисциплин и информационных технологий. Статья знакомит с результатами научных исследований в судебной медицине, которые обусловлены социально значимыми потребностями и направлены на решение экспертных задач, имеющих государственную значимость. Кафедра судебной медицины Сеченовского Университета является основоположником систематического преподавания и лидером в приоритетных научных изысканиях в области судебной медицины. На её базе выполнен комплекс актуальных научных исследований и получены прорывные результаты по следующим проблемным вопросам: идентификация личности, возрастная морфология, судебная травматология, морфологическая диагностика хронической наркотической интоксикации, острой и хронической алкогольной интоксикации, внезапной смерти. В статье представлены наиболее значимые достижения и определены перспективные направления исследовательской деятельности научной школы под руководством Ю.И. Пиголкина.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p>法医学是一门综合了一般生物学和医学知识的科学。这一领域的研究旨在发展和提高完成司法和实际保健任务所需的技能。完善我们的社会是法医科学研究发展的新动力，根据出现的问题重要性，以及法医和调查实践的要求，使狭隘领域的优先性不断升级。在现阶段的发展中，法医学作为一门科学专业，是医学的一个分支，由于吸引了相关自然科学和信息技术的成果而迅速发展。文章介绍了法医学科学研究的成果，这些成果是通过具有社会意义的需求推动的，且旨在解决国家层面的鉴定问题。谢切诺夫大学法医学系是法医学领域系统教学的创始人，也是重点科学研究的领导者。在该系，开展了一系列现实科学研究，并在以下问题上取得了突破性成果：身份识别、年龄形态学、法医创伤学、慢性药物中毒、急/慢性酒精中毒、猝死的形态学诊断。本文介绍了在U.I.皮戈尔金带领下的学院研究活动的最重要成果，并确定了前景方向。</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>forensic expertise</kwd><kwd>forensic medicine</kwd><kwd>scientific research</kwd><kwd>research report</kwd><kwd>interdisciplinary research</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>судебная экспертиза</kwd><kwd>судебная медицина</kwd><kwd>научные исследования</kwd><kwd>отчёт о результатах исследования</kwd><kwd>междисциплинарное исследование</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="zh"><kwd>法医鉴定</kwd><kwd>法医学</kwd><kwd>科学研究</kwd><kwd>研究成果报告</kwd><kwd>综合学科研究</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Pigolkin YuI, Lomakin YuV, Khodulapov AV.
