Since 2009, within the framework of the Federal Target Program "National System of Chemical and Biological Safety of the Russian Federation", the Department of Molecular Diagnostics and Epidemiology under the direction of G.A.Shipulin has developed hundreds of sets of reagents and test systems for the molecular diagnostics of dangerous infectious diseases, including such socially significant infectious diseases as HIV and parenteral hepatitis.

With the participation of G.A.Shipulin, technologies for the production of enzymes for molecular diagnostics, oligonucleotide synthesis, original formulations of the main components of PCR test systems were developed, and the country's largest innovative import-substituting high-tech production was created. The production of unique highly sensitive PCR test systems for qualitative and quantitative detection and genotyping of infectious and parasitic pathogens has been established.

G.A.Shipulin is one of the main developers of the first Russian governing document (methodological recommendations) for conducting work in diagnostic laboratories using the PCR method, as well as a co-author of 15 MG, MR and SR. He is author and co-author of more than 750 scientific publications, holder of 17 patents, co-author of 16 monographs. His h-number (Google Scholar) is 25.

On the basis of the FBIS "Central Scientific Research Institute of Epidemiology" of Rospotrebnadzor, G.A.Shipulin created and headed the Center for Molecular Diagnostics of Infectious Diseases (CMD).

Since 2018 to the present day he has been working at Centre for Strategic Planning of FMBA of Russia as Deputy Director General for Research and Production Activities, and also heads the Post-Genomic Technologies Center.

G.A.Shipulin is the chairman of the organizing committee of the scientific and practical conference "Molecular diagnostics", the chairman of the committee "Molecular biological and genetic research" of the Association of specialists and organizations of the laboratory service "FEDERATION OF LABORATORY MEDICINE", a member of the science and engineering board "Translational Medicine" of the technological platform "Medicine of the Future", an expert of the expert group of the scientific coordinating council of the Federal Target Program "Research and Development in priority areas of the development of the scientific and technological complex of Russia for 2014-2020" in the priority area "Life Sciences", expert of the Skolkovo Foundation in the field of "Medical technologies in the field of equipment development, pharmaceutical products", expert of the Federal Register of experts in the scientific and technical sphere, member of the editorial board of the following journals: "Modern Laboratory" of the "Medical Alphabet" series, "Epidemiology and Hygiene" of the "Medical Alphabet" series, "Personalized Psychiatry and Neurology".
