Key directions of scientific research:

• Search for molecular-genetic markers of economically valuable traits and the development of methods allowing the identification of the hidden carriers of hereditary animal diseases;
• Genetic diversity study of agricultural and wild animals based on molecular methods;
• Detection of genetic causes of hereditary defects of the cardiovascular system and atopic human diseases;
• Advancing biotechnology and applying molecular-genetic methods to study hydrobionts in natural biotopes and aquaculture.
