Scientific activity consists in ensuring the growth of scientific activity of the teaching staff, undergraduates and students, strengthening the relationship between science and education and developing the human potential of science.

The policy in choosing the directions of research work is aimed at:

improving the efficiency of scientific work by performing basic and applied research in the pharmaceutical industry;
strengthening the unity of educational and scientific processes, active participation of teaching staff in scientific research and broad involvement of students in research activities;
continuous improvement of the professional level of the teaching staff based on the active use of the results of scientific activity in the educational process;
expansion of international scientific cooperation and participation in international scientific organizations, foundations, programs and projects;
improvement of the postgraduate training process

The «500 Scientists» project is an initiative to transfer advanced scientific technologies to Kazakhstan and corresponds to the Message of the Head of State Tokayev K.K. to the people of Kazakhstan on September 1, 2020 years “Kazakhstan in a new reality: time to act” The program is aimed at providing internships to domestic scientists in leading scientific centers and universities of the world.
Associate Professor of the department Mombekova Serzhana Yessimbaevich is undergoing a scientific internship under the Bolashak program “500 scientists” At the University of Westminster (UK) in the 2023-2024 academic year.

I can say to myself “dreams come true”, since the autumn of 2023 I have been on a scientific internship at the University of Westminster (UK) under the internship program “500 scientists). Having passed a large competitive selection, testing, visa paperwork, and finally I am at one of the best universities in the UK – the University of Westminster.

The university has a wonderful opportunity to complete interesting master’s and doctoral degree programs in innovative specialties. Our internship lasts 2 semesters, and we have already completed many interesting and useful masterclasses and seminars on data analysis. My colleague from Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, PhD Kalykova Asem Serikovna and I had a chance to work under the guidance of Professor Dr. Kalpana Surendranath, who works in international projects, on a scientific project in the field of studying the toxicity of plastic components.

As well as a unique opportunity to participate in the “Gene Editors of the Future” training program for the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR learning technology. At the moment, I am waiting for the completion of the scientific project and the submission of the publication of the results obtained in the field of biotechnology and genomic engineering.
A huge advantage of the internship is that a team of like-minded people has gathered. For a long time, we have been exchanging practical experience, sharing ideas, and commenting on difficult issues that we face in practice.
