His contributions have been commemorated with a monument which stood in front of the academy until the October Revolution. The monument was designed in 1859 by David Jensen. It was later relocated and replaced with a statue of Hygieia.[2] In the late 19th century, the academy's physiology laboratory, founded by Ivan Sechenov, was at the forefront of medical research.

Famous Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (he won Nobel Prize award in 1904) graduated from the Academy in 1879 with Gold Medal award.
