The research activities of the Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology are aimed at advancing the fundamental medical sciences, studying the morphofunctional characteristics of cells, tissues and organs, investigating the patterns of embryonic development, and identifying histological changes occurring in various pathological processes. In addition, the Department conducts research on current issues in modern medical science, biomedicine, regenerative medicine and morphology. The Department also contributes to the education and development of the younger generation in the spirit of devotion to the Motherland, respect for national and universal human values, and enhancement of students’ legal awareness and culture.
