The history of the chair as an independent division of International Sakharov Environmental Institute of BSU begins in October 1995, when the Chair of Radiobiology was established. In 2000, the Chair was transformed into Biochemistry and Biophysics Chair during the structural reorganization of Environmental Medicine and Radiobiology Faculty, and from September 1, 2017 into the Chair of Environmental Chemistry and Biochemistry.
The main activity of the chair is to organize and implement educational process in chemical disciplines at all levels: bachelor’s degree (majors in Medical and Biological Science, Medical Ecology, Environmental Protection, Information Systems and Technologies, Nuclear and Radiation Safety, Energy Efficient Technologies and Energy Management, Medical Physics), master’s degree (Ecology), postgraduate course (major in 03.01.04 Biochemistry).
The curricula, implemented by the chair, are developed following the latest achievements in chemistry and pedagogy. Advanced educational technologies and technical means are widely used in the educational process.
Graduates can work as medical information system specialists, laboratory technicians, researchers, teachers of chemistry, biology, and ecology.
