The main areas of scientific activity include the development of preparative methods for the synthesis of potentially bioactive substances of a heterocyclic nature with the aim of finding effective antitumor, antiviral, vasodilator agents, enzyme inhibitors, pesticides, plant growth regulators, and others. To achieve this goal, S.H. Pilyo uses original acyclic reagents for the synthesis of five- and six-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles and their fused derivatives, which contain various nitrogen-, sulfur-, and phosphorus-containing pharmacophoric groups at different positions of the heterocyclic system. A promising area of Stepan Pilyo’s work is the search for new effective and environmentally safe plant growth regulators based on synthetic five- and six-membered heterocyclic compounds, with a view to their practical implementation in agriculture to improve the growth and development of commercially important crops and increase their yield.

The main scientific area of activity is the development of methods for the targeted synthesis of phosphorus- and fluorine-containing isoelectronic and bioisosteric structural analogues of natural compounds. I.I. Herus has established that the introduction of fluorine atoms into the structure of molecules does not lead to significant changes in the spatial structure of organic molecules, since the sizes of hydrogen and fluorine atoms are very close, but the special electronic properties of the fluorine atom and fluorine-containing groups often lead to fundamental and positive changes in the chemical behavior and biological activity of compounds. Also an interesting and promising area of I.I. Herus’s work is the synthesis and study of organophosphorus molecules containing fluorine-containing fragments.

The main scientific direction of research is the study of the molecular mechanisms of cell metabolism regulation, in particular hormonal and stress signaling. The objects of study are the model plant system Arabidopsis thaliana and a number of cultivated plants (rapeseed, barley, soybean). The laboratory conducts current research to elucidate the mechanisms of the influence of the hormones brassinosteroids and cytokinins on the regulation of key metabolic links – from the early processes of signal reception and the formation of signaling messengers, to determining changes in the functioning of key cell homeostasis systems, in particular the functioning of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Recently, M.V. Derevianchuk’s work has focused on studying the cell’s adaptive mechanisms to the action of toxic metals, in particular zinc and copper. Pollution with heavy metals is one of the challenges of martial law. The researcher conducts promising studies on the role of cytokinins in increasing plant resistance to stress conditions caused by toxic metals, in particular by programming the adaptive hormonal profile of plants.

Civil Defense Shelters

Civil Defense Shelters

The V.P. Kukhar Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has a specially equipped civil defense shelter No. 104047, intended for sheltering higher education students and Institute staff in the event of emergencies related to the threat of air danger or the threat of shelling. The shelter is equipped with a ventilation system that can operate in pure ventilation mode or filter-ventilation mode using FPU-200 filter-absorbers. The shelter has two sanitary facilities, a sewage system, electricity supply, and two exits to the surface.

RULES FOR STAYING IN THE CIVIL DEFENSE SHELTER

In the event of an alarm signal, when students are on the Institute’s premises during a class, break, or engaged in experimental work, they must immediately, without panic, proceed to the civil defense shelter located in the Institute’s inner courtyard. Using the elevator during an alarm signal is prohibited.

  1. Enter the shelter calmly, without panic, observing discipline and the direction of the flow of people.
  2. Limit movement as much as possible and try to speak quietly, without creating unnecessary noise.
  3. If you feel unwell, notify the responsible person.
  4. It is strictly forbidden to bring flammable substances, substances with a strong odor, or hazardous items that could cause a fire into the shelter.
  5. While in the shelter, it is forbidden to: walk around the premises unnecessarily; move objects without permission; enter service rooms without authorization; attempt to independently turn on (off) special equipment units; make noise; smoke; light an open flame.
  6. The evacuation ends and exit from the shelter takes place after the announced end of the air raid alert, or in the event of an emergency situation that poses a threat to people’s life and health (for example, if a fire occurs there, the concentration of harmful gases increases, the air is running out, etc.).

If the main exits cannot be used, evacuation takes place through emergency exits.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Your safety comes above all.

It will also be useful for students to review the “Rules of Conduct in Emergency Situations of a Wartime Nature,” developed by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Diia. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmztaYnCScIFmttQ-Kkwm0u1MypxijsD

Glossary of Terms

ECTS – European Credit Transfer System, developed with the support of the European Commission to ensure a unified interstate procedure for assessing learning, a system for measuring and comparing students’ learning outcomes, and their academic recognition. The system can be used within an educational institution, between educational institutions of the same country, as well as between partner institutions from different countries. The ECTS system is based on accounting for the volume of academic work performed by the student; allows for the accumulation of credits and their transferability within the European educational space; requires compliance with the rules for all its components: ECTS credits and ECTS grades; and is designed to promote mobility and the international recognition of periods of study abroad.

Academic Calendar – the calendar dates of the educational process and the study of individual disciplines during the academic year.

European Higher Education Area – the establishment of a unified standardized education system that makes it possible to increase the employability and mobility of citizens of participating countries, to define levels and quality assurance guarantees for educational programs, and to make the pan-European higher education system more attractive to students and lecturers from other countries. This process is known as the Bologna Process.

Credit Unit – a unit of measurement of the academic workload required for mastering content modules or a block of content modules. A credit is a relative unit that measures the time, on average, required for a student to master a content module. A credit takes into account all forms of the student’s academic workload: classroom instruction, independent work, exam preparation, research work, etc.

Qualification – the title or degree awarded by an educational institution, recorded in a diploma certifying the successful completion of an educational and scientific program.

Credit – the amount of educational material that can be mastered in 30 hours of study time (the sum of hours of classroom instruction, independent work of the student, and control measures per week).

ECTS Credit – a unit of measurement of a student’s academic workload. ECTS credits reflect the student’s workload for the relevant course.

Curriculum – the main regulatory document by which the organization of the educational process is carried out. It is compiled on the basis of the educational-professional program and the structural-logical scheme of training, and determines the list and scope of compulsory and elective academic disciplines, the sequence of their study, the distribution of credit units among disciplines, specific forms of conducting classes (lectures, practical classes, seminars, individual classes, consultations, internships) and their scope, the schedule of the educational process, and the forms and means of conducting current and final assessment. The curriculum also reflects the amount of time allocated for independent work. The curriculum is developed for the entire period of implementation of the relevant educational and scientific training program and is approved by the head of the institution.

Study Program – a list of academic disciplines required to provide a student with an education.

Credit Value – the workload of a student in a specific specialty, expressed in academic hours, which records the volume of the student’s academic workload (labor intensity).

Quality of Higher Education – the correspondence of higher education, as a social system, to the socio-economic needs and interests of the individual, society, and the state, reflecting competence, value orientations, and social direction, and determining the ability to satisfy both personal spiritual and material needs and the needs of society.

Our graduates

Tetiana Kalachova

Current position: Research Fellow at the Institute of Experimental Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Laboratory of Plant Pathological Physiology)

Education: Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (postgraduate studies) and University of Paris-Est, France, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine (master’s degree)

Brief biography: After completing her master’s degree in virology at Kyiv National University, she entered the postgraduate program at the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine under dual supervision (dual form Ukraine-France). She studied phospholipid signaling in the context of phytohormonal perception and found that lipid kinases, especially DIACYLGLYCEROL KINASE 5, can act as a signaling center in stress adaptation, especially in the early stages of pathogen recognition and immune response establishment.

Since joining the Laboratory of Plant Pathophysiology in Prague, she has focused on plant defense mechanisms, especially pathways related to the phytohormone salicylic acid. I am particularly interested in the relationship between actin cytoskeleton remodeling, phospholipid signaling, and disease resistance.
