The scientist’s professional activities were associated with the Imperial University of Warsaw, where he headed the department of the faculty therapeutic clinic (1895-1910), was the dean of the medical faculty and acting as the rector (1909-1910). Professor Kudrevetski V.V. was a scholar of an outstanding scientist, academician Pavlov I.P. Under his leadership in a small laboratory of the prof. S.P. Botkin clinic, they carried out the first fundamental research and experimental work on the physiology of digestion. The accumulated experience on this topic allowed Kudrevetski to defend his doctoral dissertation in 1890, the scientific consultant of which was Ivan Petrovich himself. The results of fundamental works of V.V. Kudrevetski formed the basis of scientific ideas about the physiology of the digestive system and have not lost their relevance today.
