The Faculty of Biology was founded in 1933, but the process of its founding had started right from YSU foundation. Over different periods of time it used to exist as an Academic Division at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Pedagogical Faculty of YSU under following names: Sub department of Biology, Department of Biology and Cycle of Biology.
Currently the faculty is structurally comprised of eight chairs: Botanics, Zoology, Human and Animal Physiology, Ecology and Nature Protection, Microbiology and Biotechnology of Plants and Microbes, Genetics and Cytology, Biochemistry and Biophysics. Scientific-research groups act at each of these chairs, included in five scientific-research laboratories: General Biology, Biochemistry of Nitrogen Compounds, Biology and Biotechnology of Fungi, Biophysics of Subcellular Structures and a joint laboratory with YSU Faculty of Physics on Structural Biophysics. At the same time state financed scientific-research groups develop their activities at different chairs. This faculty is one of the largest highly ranked scientific-research centers of YSU. We must underline that more than 100 researchers are involved in the scientific-research process here.
Currently 3 NAS RA Academicians, 3 NAS RA Associate members, 22 Doctors of Sciences and more than 100 Candidates are involved in the training process of the faculty. All this states about the high level and scientific potential of the faculty. General research directions of the faculty are in the area of Molecular and Cellular biology, Molecular Biophysics, Biophysics of Membranes, Comparative and Evolutionary Biochemistry, Biochemistry of Plants, Biology and Fungi Researches, Bacteriology, Biotechnology of Microbes and Plants, Molecular Genetics and Cell Genetics of Man, Genetic Engineering, Zoology and Histology, Physiology of Higher Nervous Activity of Humans and Animals, Psychophysiology, Ecology of Biocenose and Nature Protection. Many of the graduates are worldwide known scientists. They develop scientific activities in scientific centers of former USSR and abroad. The outstanding specialists of the faculty have established relations with their colleagues from foreign scientific-research centers (USA, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia etc.). They present numerous scientific reports and hold lectures there.
More than 500 students study at the faculty and about 40 students have chosen distance learning here. More than 30 students are working on their research papers to get the degree of a Candidate (PHD and applicants). The educational system is three degrees system: Bachelor, Master of Arts and PHD.
"GeneClub" acts at the Chair of Genetics and Cytology.
