Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology

Department of biophysics, biomedicine and neuroscience

Department of Biophysics, Biomedicine and Neuroscience - new and promising areas. They lie at the intersection of biology, medicine, physics and neuroscience and are of priority importance for the development of breakthrough directions in the development of various fields of science and technology and determining the content of a new technological order. In the field of view of neurosciences there are topical problems of developing technologies for modeling super-complex dynamic systems, including models of a neuron and brain structures. These tasks are of great practical importance both for medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, and for artificial intelligence systems. The department actively conducts scientific research in the following areas: 6В05108 - Biomedicine 6В05104 - Biophysics 6В05109 - Neuroscience 7M01504 - Biology (scientific) 7M05102 - Biomedicine 7M05103 - Biophysics 7M05113 - Neuroscience 8D05102 - Biomedicine 8D05103 - Biophysics 8D05109 - Neuroscience

Pavlov, in subsequent years the head of the department was K. N. Nurmagambetov (1938-1942); Doctor of Medical Sciences, Acting Professor Rosenberg (1942-1944); Doctor of Biological Sciences, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR A. P. Polosukhin (1944-1947); Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor M. F. Avazbakieva (1947-1981); Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor H. D. Dyusembin (1981-1990); Doctor of Biological Sciences, professor K. S. Rymzhanov (1990-1997); Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor Z. A. Askarova (1997-1999). The Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics was founded in 1973, the head of the department was Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor V. M. Inyushin. In 1980-1983, the head of the department, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor A. B. Uteshev, and in 1984-1999-V. M. Inyushin himself.

With the need to train biology teachers for secondary and special schools, gymnasiums and lyceums, the Department of Methods of Teaching Biology was opened in October 1989. The head of the department was Ph. D., Professor N. T. Tormanov (1989-1996)).

From 1999 to 2020, the head of the department was Toleukhanov Sultan Toleukhanovich-Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, academician of the International Academy of Information Sciences.

Since the 2020-2021 academic year, the head of the department is Candidate of Biological Sciences, Professor Almira Kustubayeva.
