HISTORY OF CYTOLOGY:
The history of the chair originates from 1934, when Professor O.O. Ivakin has founded the Chair of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology at the Department of Biology of the Kyiv University.
Since that time, the Chair trains specialists in morpho-physiology of higher animals by tradition. Teaching and research activities of the Chair had been drastically revised in the postwar years, when the Chair was headed by the prominent in morphology scientist, Professor B.G. Novikov. The Laboratory of the Evolutionary Morphology was formed then, and numerous contacts were established with the leading scientists in the world.
In 1963 the basic required course in cytology was introduced, the required necessities for students to specialize in cytology were arranged for, and the Chair, in accordance with these events, obtained its modern name - the Chair of Cytology, Histology and Developmental Biology. Since 1981 the Chair was under the leadership of Professor V.M. Gordienko, doctor of medical sciences, laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine, and from 1997 till present the former graduate of the Chair, Professor M.E. Dzerzhynsky, occupies the position of the head of the Chair.
EDUCATION :
Teaching mission of the faculty members is targeted on the training of specialists with the highest degree of professional qualification, which corresponds to all modern requirements combined with the home traditions of theoretical and experimental morphology.
Education of the specialists is accomplished in three stages:
Bachelor,
Specialist,
Master.
According to the educational schedule, students acquire contemporary theoretical background in a number of basic and major required courses, attend major electives, special and laboratory practice, where they get knowledge in special topics of modern research, have teaching and research practice. Students take an active part in the research activities of the Chair, make reports on results of their own investigations at conferences, symposiums, and publish them on the pages of specialized scientific periodicals. Solid background in the major provides graduates of the Chair an advantage in the competition along with the possibility to get a position in research or clinical laboratories, or in the educational network.
Scientific work:
In the past decades the main scientific task of the Chair was to investigate how breeding, growth and periodical forming processes are regulated in vertebrates. Researchers and faculty were able to widen significantly the understanding of brain structures involvement into endocrine interactions, to determine the general scheme of the endocrine system organization, to point out the role of pituitary gland, hypothalamic and suprahypothalamic structures of brain in the regulation of the endocrine gland functions. Results of the scientific research performed by the staff members are reflected in numerous scientific publications, they were presented at various home and international meetings and also found a practical implementation in the development of modern technologies in regulation of animal breeding.

Now a days the Chair is the leading center in Ukraine for training highly
qualified specialists in morphology, researchers of microscopic
structure and functions of living organisms. There are no academic or
affiliated research and development institute with the biological
profile, no clinical lab, where cytologists, histologists or
developmental biologists graduated from our chair are not working.
