The report of the professor of the Pathologic Anatomy, Autopsy course and Forensic Pathology department, Valentyn Franchuk, at the webinar of the Medical Law and Bioethics Committee of the Ukrainian National Bar Association of on issues of forensic medical examination of deficiencies in professional medical activity (June 10, 2022).
The scientific work of the Institute of Morphology is aimed at the implementation of dissertations, independent research projects and research programs funded by the Ministry of Health, organization and participation in all-Ukrainian and international scientific forums, preparation of students’ scientific works, ensuring the work of the morphological sector of the interdepartmental educational and research laboratory of the university.
At the departments of the institute, under the guidance of experienced morphologists, a number of dissertation studies are carried out by applicants of scientific degrees (PhD and Doctor of Sciences).
All departments of the Institute of Morphology participate in the implementation of research works on various topics:
- Morphological and metabolic aspects of carcinogenesis
- Study of the regenerative potential of cell therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome
- Study of the regenerative potential of mesenchymal stem cells in case of tissue damage in an experiment and prospects for their therapeutic application
- Morphological regularities of adaptation processes in the body after surgical interventions on the organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities and surgical methods of correction of postoperative complications.
- Development and implementation of mini-invasive innovative technologies in planned and urgent surgery.
- Peculiarities of remodeling of vascular beds of internal organs during simulation of hemodynamic disorders of various genesis and sudden elimination of pathogenetic factors in the experiment.
- Cyberphysical modeling in research of medical and biological processes.
- Development of specialized telemedical equipment and treatment and rehabilitation methods for providing remote rehabilitation to patients with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
- Psychophysiological aspects of adaptation of young people to educational workloads depending on the socio-ecological situation.
Scientific and pedagogical workers of the Institute of Morphology have published a significant amount of scientific works, in particular, articles in journals that are indexed in the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science.
Nowadays, the laboratory of electron microscopy at the Department of Histology and Embryology of the Institute of Morphology of TNMU is almost the only one of the fruitfully functioning ones at the Medical Universities of Ukraine.

The teaching staff of the departments takes an active part in offline and online conferences, symposia, congresses, seminars, trainings and workshops. Department teachers and PhD degree applicants have the opportunity to undergo scientific internships abroad as part of the international academic mobility of teachers and higher education holders within the framework of numerous international agreements and programs.
Thus, in the period from April 29 to November 1, 2022, the assistant professor of the Department of Histology and Embryology Nataliіa Ohinska underwent a scientific internship under the “Erasmus+ KA107” program at the laboratory center of the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain).
From June 9, 2022 to May 18, 2023, Associate Professor Kramar Solomiya interned at Paul Sabatier University, Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases (Toulouse, France) as part of team No. 9 under the leadership of Dr. Oksana Kunduzova.

Students and members of the departments of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Morphology actively participate in scientific forums, including the congress of students and young scientists, which is held annually at our university and other leading universities of Ukraine.
The vice-rector for scientific work, professor Ivan Klishch, awards the winner of the II stage of the All-Ukrainian competition of student’s scientific works to the student Dmytro Koval
The scientific work of student Diana Lytvynyuk on the topic: “Microscopic and submicroscopic features of the structure of the hippocampus of white rats” was presented online at the International Science Exhibition in Mexico (ExpoCiencias Nacional Durango 2021). The scientific jury highly appreciated the quality of conducting scientific research using light and electron microscopy and noted the relevance of the chosen topic. The project was awarded a silver medal.
On the basis of Odesa National Medical University, the All-Ukrainian competition of student scientific works in the field of “Theoretical Medicine” was held. A student of the 6th year of Ivan Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University Yulia Hryhorivna Zagrychuk under the leadership of Associate professor of Department of Histology and Embryology Alina Dovhalyuk took part in this competition with a scientific paper on the topic: “Peculiarities of cultivation and cryopreservation of stem cells from the umbilical cord of rats.” On March 30, 2021, following the results of two rounds of the All-Ukrainian competition, this work won a prize and was awarded a IIIrd degree diploma.
Professor of the Department of Histology and Embryology Zoya Nebesna and Associate Professor Solomiya Kramar participated in online format in the 4th RECOOP International Student and 17th RECOOP Bridges in Life Sciences Conferences, which took place in Prague, with the report “Histopathological finding in placentas in mild COVID-19 affected pregnant women “.
