Educational program

Training of scientific and pedagogical personnel with critical thinking and deep knowledge in genetics, molecular biology and genomics, capable of teaching and independently conducting interdisciplinary research, developing new genetic technologies and diagnostic methods for use in various fields of genetics, biology, medicine and agriculture.

1. Analyze the features of the genetic organization and the mechanisms for the implementation of genetic information depending on the functioning of the organism, including in the evolution;
2. Assess the main trends in the development of advanced ideas and new methods in genetics to solve genetic and genetic engineering problems;
3. Carry out scientific research based on the use of advanced technologies in general and molecular genetics to solve actual problems in biology, medicine, biotechnology and ecology;
4. Implement new methods of molecular genetic research with enhanced analytical and clinical diagnostic reliability, interpreting the results of genetic research to develop a working hypothesis of a scientific problem;
5. Summarize the key principles of the modern theory and methodology of genetics, molecular biology and genetic engineering for the develop and conduct of interdisciplinary research;
6. Build research, manufacturing and teaching activities on the basis of ethical and legal norms in relations between people and in the relations of living organisms on the basis of the bioethics principles;
7. Integrate molecular genetic results obtained during the implementation of research projects and thesis in the educational process and work experience;
8. Develop proposals for the modernization of breeding-genetic and genetic engineering activities in the centers and laboratories of biological, medical, agricultural profile;
9. Develop educational-methodical complexes of disciplines and teach theoretical and applied courses based on a student-oriented approach using digital technologies, interactive methods, forms and means of education for solving educational problems of full-time, dual, distance and inclusive education;
10. Find the application of their professional abilities in the field of modern genetic science in the context of international cooperation, interdisciplinarity and business incubation based on pilot and long-term genetic research algorithms, promoting the development of science and society
