Dear Colleagues and Women Scientists,

We sincerely congratulate you on this spring holiday and thank you for your daily contribution to the development of science, education, and society. Your perseverance in laboratories paves the way for new generations of researchers. May your voice be heard in every project, your authorship recognized in every article, and your expertise reflected in every decision.

With respect and support, The Institute Directorate

Dear Young Scientists!

• We invite you to take an active part in competitions for prestigious national awards.
• Please note that in 2026 the size of the awards has increased significantly—some of them exceed UAH 300,000 per person, making participation in these competitions especially attractive.
• In particular, the competition for the 2026 **Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Award named after Ihor Yukhnovskyi** has been announced. The award aims to support and recognize the achievements of young scientists.
• Detailed conditions of the competition, candidate requirements, and submission deadlines are available at the following link:

We encourage you to participate actively and recommend reviewing the participation requirements in advance.

We wish you success and new scientific achievements!

Dear Colleagues!

• The Directorate sincerely congratulates you on the upcoming New Year!
• The past year has been challenging, yet thanks to your dedication to science, professionalism, and mutual support, the Institute has maintained its stability, scientific potential, and ability to develop even under difficult circumstances. Your research, educational activities, international cooperation, and daily hard work form the foundation of our institution’s reputation.

• In the New Year, we wish you good health, scientific inspiration, new ideas and successful projects, professional recognition, and personal warmth. May 2026 bring confidence in the future, peace, prosperity, and new opportunities for the development of Ukrainian science.

• We sincerely thank each of you for your joint efforts and contribution to the development of the Institute.

With best wishes, The Institute Directorate

Research

The O.O. Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology is a scientific research center in area of molecular physiology, biophysics, neurophysiology, pathological physiology. The Institute was the first place in the Former Soviet Union where microelectrode technique was applied to investigate of structural and functional organization of neuronal centers, biophysical and molecular mechanisms of neuronal excitation and inhibition. Methods of intracellular dialysis in cell soma have been developed and applied for investigation of membrane and molecular mechanisms of nerve cell functions. The new data on the physical and chemical processes in nerve and muscle cells, on mechanisms of synaptic transmission, on ion mechanisms of excitation have been obtained. The order of involvement and response on irritation of different groups of the cortical neurons were determined and mechanisms of the inhibitory process in the cortex were found.

The modulatory influences of different brain parts on cardiovascular reflexes have been determined, the interrelation between central and peripheral mechanisms of vessel tone regulation under functional load have been studied. The original model of acute myocardial dystrophy leading to shock has been developed. important data There were obtained the important data on the immunogenous disturbances in the cardiovascular system.

The new complex methods for determination of efficiency, condition and degree of training of sportsmen, methods of functional diagnostic of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases were elaborated. The new methods of investigation of human higher nervous activity were proposed and relevant equipment was developed. The research on determination of the intensity of labor , on elaboration of physiological criteria for the professional selection were carried out. The method of optimization of doses of mineral water 'Naftusia' was elaborated, that permitted to increase efficiency of spa treatment of kidney and liver diseases.
