He is a member of the International Micronutrient Association (USA). He is an Academician of the Baltic Pedagogical Academy and a regular participant in Russian and international conferences. He was involved in the development and implementation of natural medicinal products (raunatin, novoaekol). Currently, he is developing recipes for natural compositions related to dietary supplements and implements them in healthcare practice. He has over 20 implemented branded products. He has over 300 scientific publications, co-author of 4 monographs, 8 author's certificates and 2 patents, as well as numerous educational materials in the field of biochemistry. Author of the first specialized textbook on biochemistry for nutritionists (2024).
==Biography==
Vladimir Dadali was born into the family of a military serviceman. He graduated with honors from the Pharmaceutical Faculty of the First Moscow State Medical Institute (now university) named after I.M. Sechenov in 1960 and then from the Chemistry Faculty of Kharkiv State University. From 1987 to 2012, he headed the Department of Biochemistry with a course in bioorganic chemistry (after merging in 2011 with the Department of Chemistry of the North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, it was renamed to the Department of Biological and General Chemistry), now the Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics, Biochemistry and General Chemistry. Since 2019, it bears the name of Viktor Sokolovsky.
He worked as a research associate at the Kharkiv Research Chemical and Pharmaceutical Institute, where he co-authored the development of the drug "Raunatin",https://www.vidal.ru/search?q=Раунатин&bad=on and then at the Department of Chemical Kinetics of Kharkiv State University.
In 1964, after the opening of the Donetsk Scientific Center in Ukraine, he got to work first at the Institute of Physics and Technology of the scientific center, and then at the Donetsk National University opened at the same time, where he was the organizer and first head of the Department of Biochemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry until 1987. The department, in close scientific cooperation with the Donetsk Scientific Center, has launched the training of specialists in the field of biochemistry with a physical-chemical, molecular-biological and clinical-biochemical focus, including for medical institutions of the Ministry of Health.
Since 2001, he has been a scientific consultant at the "Path to Health" consulting and educational center, where he conducts courses on nutritiology, the biochemistry of the action of natural substances for doctors and anyone interested in learning about health in general health.
==Scientific career==
Vladimir Dadali defended his Candidate's dissertation in 1969 on the topic "Studying the Electronic Conductivity in a Series of Binuclear Bridged Compounds" in the field of organic chemistry. In 1986, he defended his Doctorate dissertation on the topic "The Mechanism of Catalysis and Structural Effects in a Series of Imidazoles" at the Physical Chemistry Council of Moscow State University named after Lomonosov. The obtained research results were then experimentally investigated in Antarctic expeditions as adaptogens.
The scientific interests of Professor Dadali are diverse. He is one of the leading specialists in the field of biochemistry and pharmacology of micronutrients and dietary supplements based on natural compounds. The main direction of scientific interests is the study of chemical models of enzymatic catalysis, enzymatic systems of the body's defense against the action of damaging factors of the external environment, the study of the theoretical foundations and mechanisms of action of natural antioxidants and their complexes, the development of biologically active compositions of various aspects of action based on natural substances. He substantiated and proposed formulas for more than two dozen dietary supplements, implemented in medical practice and successfully passed clinical trials. Under his leadership (jointly with Professor A. V. Rak), employees of the departments of biochemistry and traumatology conducted clinical and biochemical studies of the endogenous immunomodulator Transfer Factor within the framework of the all-Russian program. The studies culminated in its introduction into medical practice in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and the approval of the corresponding Methodological Letter by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (2004). He proposed the pharmaceutical preparation "Novo-Aekol", the development principle of which is protected by a patent of the Russian Federation. With the active support of Professor V. A. Dadali, a regional (innovative) center "Adaptogen"https://allpatents.ru/company/2379.html was created at the department, headed by Professor V. G. Makarov (currently the Institute of Pharmacology), where research work is carried out in the field of theory and practice of using natural substances, development and implementation of dietary supplements and medicinal products based on natural raw materials.
The educational program on micronutrients and dietary supplements, launched and personally implemented by Professor V. A. Dadali both in Russia and abroad, is devoted to the biochemical and pharmacological aspects of their action, helps to understand their significance for human health and competently approach their use in practical medicine. V. A. Dadali conducts seminars for doctors in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cities of Russia, lectures in the USA, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Mongolia, Thailand, and neighboring countries. He organized and actively conducts cycles of lectures on the biochemistry and pharmacology of natural substances in St. Petersburg and Moscow, including at the University of Educational Medicine. Professor V. A. Dadali is the author of over 300 scientific works, co-author of 4 monographs, he has 8 author's certificates and 2 patents, under his supervision, 16 Candidate's and one Doctorate dissertations were prepared and defended.
