Scientific research program includes four central themes:

Development of the technology for gene therapy of insulin-dependant pancreatic diabetes and atherosclerosis (Toporova O.K.)

Bacterial colonies associated with plants and their application for plant growth including growth in extraterrestrial conditions. (Kozyrovska N.O.)

Substantiation of the safety use of bacteria for plant growing beyond the Earth (Kozyrovska N.O.)

Stem cells biology (Deryabina O.G.).

Our recent achievements:

  • Technology of target gene delivery into cells for therapeutic purposes is under development
  • Conceptual investigation on the growing of pioneer plants in the greenhouses of the Moon with involvement of microbial communities is in progress.
  • Studies on the mechanism of genetic material transfer between mammalian cells.
  • Influence of different cells of mice embryo tissues on an adult organism is being investigated.
