[Evaluating justification of choice for priority directions in the field of biomedicine in the national project 'SCIENCE'].

The purpose of the present research was to analyze the validity of the choice for biomedical disciplines fixed by the passport of the national project 'Science' for the following priority of the Strategy for the scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation: 'the transition to personalized medicine, high-tech medical care and health saving technologies ...'. We assessed the degree of relevance of this choice to great challenges facing the Russian Federation, as well as trends in the development of global biomedicine. The hypothesis of this study was the assumption that when determining priority areas it is necessary to proceed from the analysis and comparison of two arrays: the list of nosologies which account for the maximum morbidity, mortality, disability level of, primarily, the able-bodied population of Russia, and scientometric data identifying trends in the development of global biomedicine.
