PR20.12 Develop a systematic approach to the analysis and interpretation of new findings on the characteristics of ontogenetic development under normal and pathological conditions, drawing on advanced knowledge acquired through professionally oriented practical courses.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the courses “General Cytology,” “General Histology,” “Developmental Biology,” “General Genetics,” “Biochemistry,” and “Molecular Biology”.
2. Ability to independently apply knowledge and skills in molecular, genetic, cellular, embryological fields to solve specific scientific and practical problems; work with scientific and scientific-methodical literature.

Course content
The discipline is a basic practical embryological discipline, which covers standard methods of collection and preparation of gametes for fertilization, different types of fertilization, embryo cultivation in vitro, evaluation of their quality and methods of cryopreservation of biological material; as well as current issues: reproductive donation, cytoplasmic donation, surrogacy, stem cell use, etc. The study of the discipline is necessary to improve knowledge and practice consolidation of skills and abilities in work in embryological laboratories of various directions - scientific institutions, reproductive clinics and breeding institutions
farm and domestic animals.
