The student scientific society (SST) unites students who are interested in expanding their knowledge of medical, pharmaceutical, and veterinary microbiology beyond the educational program. These are caring young people who find time to immerse themselves in the scientific world, and then make an interesting report about the most modern achievements in science and their combination with practice.
The SSS of our department was founded in 1932 and has an interesting and meaningful history. Under the guidance of the department’s educators, students conduct scientific research in laboratories of the university based on scientific institutions and medical laboratories in Kharkiv, other cities of Ukraine, and abroad. In the 2021-2022 academic year, the number of members of the department’s SSS was 54 students, of which 5 were foreign students. Members of the SSS took part in scientific and practical conferences and have published 36 scientific works.
