Main Fields of Research Activities
Institute fulfils the fundamental investigations in priority issues including “Fundamental investigations and assistance in scientific and technical progress”, “Ecology and rational nature management”, “Technology for living system application”. The fundamental and applied investigations comply with national priorities and international tendencies in the following aspects: “Technology for bioengineering”, “Conservation and recovery of damaged soil, landscape, and biodiversity”, “Environmental monitoring”.
The scientific workers of the institute are involved in implementation of international, federal, regional programs, as well as in different programs of several regional branches of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The scientific investigations are supported by the grants of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.
The institute maintains and develops the scientific links with the scientists from the United Kingdom, Hungary, Denmark, USA, and other countries.
Results of scientific work and outstanding contributions to microbiology, biotechnology, and immunology were appreciated in awarding with government awards (Medal to Order), honorary titles (“Honored Worker of Science in Russian Federation”), the prizes after the outstanding scientists in Perm Krai namely P.Ja. Yasnitsky, V.N. Prokoshev, G.A. Maksimovich, and diplomas from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Administration of Perm Region and Perm Scientific Centre. The young scientists of the institute were awarded with medals of the Russian Academy of Sciences for a series of scientific investigations.
