Laboratory of Experimental Zoology

In 2022, the laboratory underwent reorganization, modeling itself after the Genetics laboratory. This laboratory primary focus in scientific research revolves around the exploration of biodiversity, taxonomy, morphology, ecology, evolution, and genetics, encompassing both invertebrates and vertebrates, as well as the parasitic fauna found in animals and plants. The research team members are actively engaged in the development of biological control methods and also play a significant role in training Zoology specialists.

In 2024, the laboratory underwent renovation, and a new modern fluorescent microscopy center has been created. The laboratory invited new specialists in cytogenomics and now is focused on studies of meiosis, problems of reproduction and evolutionary biology.
