Biogerontology

Molecular biological research into the structural and functional organisation of the diffuse neuroimmune-endocrine system and the genetic mechanisms of the neuroprotective action of peptide bioregulators is carried out in the laboratories of the department.

The regulatory effects of short synthetic peptides on the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells are under research.

Molecular genetic diagnostic methods are being developed to predict, optimise prevention and treat the most frequent multifactorial diseases in people of various age groups.

The genetic disposition to some multifactorial diseases is determined.

The department consists of the following units:
LABORATORY OF FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY
BIOCHEMICAL LABORATORY
NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY LABORATORY
LABORATORY OF THE GENETICS OF AGEING
