Faculties and Institutes

The Faculty of Biology

The Department of Biochemistry

In 1972 the Department of Biological and Organic Chemistry was organized, and in 1975 the Department of Biochemistry under direction of Dina Alexandrovna Sorkina was formed.

Areas of Research

The basic directions of the Department: studying of structure and functional properties of blood proteins and metabolic processes at various physiological conditions (pathology, physical activities, stress, influence of anthropogenous factors), and in individual typological state of an organism.

Research of molecular structure and functional condition of in phylogenesis and at various conditions of an organism.
