The research activity of the Department of Biological Sciences is concentrated on study of a biological diversity of plants and animals in Belarus, the development of methods of protection, reproduction and rational use of biological resources in conditions of anthropogenic press. The studies are conducted of genetic and physiological-biochemical mechanisms of photosynthesis, efficiency and immunity of plants, as bases for development of the programs for selection of new high-productive, adapted to Belarus conditions of grades of agricultural cultures and technologies of their cultivation. Scientific bases of directed microbiological synthesis of biologically active connections with the purpose of use microorganisms in an industry, agriculture, medicine and protection of an environment are developed. Physical-chemical mechanisms of functioning of biosystems as a basis of management by ability to live vegetative and animals organisms are also investigated.
The special attention is given to study of dynamics(changes) of a radioecological conditions in the Republic, caused by accident on the Chernobyl NPP, the behaviour of radionuclides in various ecosystems, an estimation of biological and genetic consequences of radiation action and the development of ways of reduction of its harmful influence.
Since 2004, the Department of Biological Sciences unites 7 scientific institutes and the Central Botanical Gardens, whose personnel includes now 1081 researchers, technicians and attendants. There are 735 researchers, 61 Doctors of Sciences (Prof.) and 258 Candidates of Sciences (Ph.D.) among them.
