In 2002 he defended his PhD dissertation.
In 2002-2005 he headed the Department of Information Technology and Epidemiology of Hematological and Oncological Diseases at the Research Institute of Pediatric Hematology; in 2005-2013 he worked as the head of the Department of Molecular and Experimental Hematology, Oncology and Immunology at the same institute (hereafter, the Dmitry Rogachev Federal Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology). In 2013-2015 Dr. Rumyantsev served as a deputy director of science and teaching at the Dmitry Rogachev Federal Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology.
In 2007 Dr. Rumyantsev defended his Doctor of Medical Science dissertation.
Since 2003 he has been heading the Stem Cell Number and Viability Control Laboratory, in 2008-2009 he headed the Stem Cell and Cell Technologies Laboratory at the Stem Cell Bank of the Moscow Healthcare Department.
Dr. Rumyantsev has vast teaching experience. In 2004 he became a teaching assistant, a year later an assisting professor and in 2009 a full professor at the Department of Clinical Hematology, Oncology and Immunopathology with Course on Outpatient and Social Pediatrics at the Faculty of Continuing Medical Education of the Russian State Medical University (since 2010 – Department of Oncology and Hematology of the Pediatric Faculty at the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University). Since 2012 Dr. Rumyantsev has been heading this department. In 2009-2015 he served as a scientific supervisor of the Youth Science Society at the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University.
