The Department of Biological Chemistry and Veterinary Medicine is a fundamental department of the biomedical cycle, located in the building at 12 Kulykivska Street.
The department was organized in 1938 on the initiative of Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor A.M. Utevsky.
Currently, the department employs 11 teachers, including 2 Doctors of Science, Professors – Vira Kravchenko and Olga Naboka, Doctor of Veterinary Sciences Yevhenia Vashchyk, 8 Candidates of Science, 9 Associate Professors.
At the Department of Biological Chemistry and Veterinary Medicine, the following educational components are taught for applicants for students of higher education of 1-4 courses in licensed areas, specialties, specialization and educational programs:

The Student Scientific Society annually attracts more than 20 students of higher educationto conduct biochemical and pharmacological research at the department.
Research work occupies one of the leading places in the activities of the department, the main directions of which currently include studying the biological activity and some mechanisms of action of synthetic and natural compounds as potential drugs; study of acute and chronic toxicity of biologically active substances of natural origin; study of biochemical mechanisms of development of pathologies accompanied by dyslipidemic conditions (stress, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, atherosclerosis), thyroid dysfunctions and search for ways to correct them; development of biochemical criteria for assessing the biological activity of medicines.
The educational component “Biological Chemistry” is included in the list of disciplines presented for the licensing integrated exam “KROK-1. 226 Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy”
