Faculty of Biology

 The Lomonosov Moscow State University is one of the major providers of training for the professions associated with Biology. Faculty of Biology was founded in 1930 on the base of Biological Department of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. Nowadays it is a large scientific and research centre comprising all most important areas of modern Biology.

It incorporates 24 departments, 7 problem laboratories, more than 50 research laboratories. The students of the Faculty have at their disposal 2 biological field stations, one of them is located in Zvenigorod near Moscow and another on the White Sea coast. Our students take practical courses in Zoological Muzeum and Botanical Garden. We also maintain a satellite campus in the town of Pushchino-na-Oke where the department of Physico-Chemical Biology and branch of the Molecular Biology Department are set up.

The Faculty of Biology has a longstanding record in environmental science. Specialist teaching divisions are led by active members of the Ecology, Physiology, Anthropology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Microbiology recearch groups. Our highly qualified teaching staff includes 12 members and 6 corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 50 professors and a large number of tutors holding DSc degree in Biology.
