Collaboration


We invite you to collaborate with the Department of Ecobiotechnology and Biodiversity at the Faculty of Plant Protection, Biotechnology, and Ecology of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine!


Modern biotechnology is a field where scientific research and practical industrial needs interact to create new technologies and solutions. The Department of Ecobiotechnology and Biodiversity at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine combines the scientific expertise of its specialists, research experience, and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Research activities encompass plant biotechnology, cell engineering, plant physiology and biochemistry, molecular biology, DNA profiling, microbiology, and phytoviruses.


What can we offer our partners?


🌱 Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Culture

Development and improvement of microclonal propagation technologies for cultivated, ornamental, fruit and berry, and medicinal plants; production of disease-free planting stock; preservation of valuable genetic material; and research into the possibilities of in vitro plant cultivation.


🧬 DNA Profiling and Molecular Genetic Testing

Conducting molecular biology research, genotyping, genetic profiling, and the determination of genetic polymorphism. This field can be useful for the study and identification of plants, strains of microorganisms, and other biological objects.


🔬 Plant Physiology and Biochemistry

The study of physiological and biochemical processes in plants, the characteristics of their growth and development, as well as the mechanisms of adaptation and the development of resistance to adverse factors.


🦠 Microbiology and Phytoviruses

Identification and study of plant pathogens; investigation of the interactions between microorganisms and plants; research on microorganisms with beneficial properties; and the search for promising strains for practical application.


🌿 Improving Plant Resistance

Research on biotechnological methods for enhancing plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors, in particular through the use of inducer compounds and the activation of plants’ natural defense mechanisms.


🧪 Biologically Active Substances

Research on plant materials, in vitro cell and tissue cultures, as well as promising producers of biologically active substances for future practical applications.


Scientific research is conducted at the Educational and Research Laboratory of Biotechnology and Cell Engineering, which is fully equipped to support research in the fields of plant biotechnology, molecular biology, cell engineering, microbiology, plant physiology, and plant biochemistry. The laboratory facilities include equipment for molecular biology research, DNA work, and in vitro culture. The laboratory serves as a base for scientific research, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations, and the results obtained are integrated into the educational process and students’ practical training. A separate area of focus is the collection of plants in in vitro culture, which is used for scientific research and educational purposes.


The department is open to collaboration with agricultural and biotechnology companies, crop producers, laboratories, pharmaceutical and food companies, plant breeding and seed companies, research institutions, and innovative projects.


Cooperation may include:

  • joint research and applied projects;

  • conducting research commissioned by partners

  • testing and scientific validation of technologies;

  • molecular genetic and laboratory research;

  • development and improvement of biotechnological methods;

  • providing expert support for scientific and technological projects;

  • training specialists to meet the needs of the industry;

  • involving students and young researchers in real-world research tasks.


We are convinced that scientific expertise is most valuable when it helps solve real-world challenges in manufacturing, business, and society. That is why the department invites companies, institutions, and organizations to engage in open dialogue, conduct joint research, and explore new opportunities for development. Do you have a technological challenge, a scientific problem, or an idea for a new project? Let’s explore it together. We invite you to discuss the details of potential collaboration formats, research topics, and specific terms by phone or during a face-to-face meeting. Contact us at: [email protected]
