	Department for Cryomicrobiology	Research Fellows:
The Department of Long-Term Storage of Biological Objects at Low Temperatures was established in 1999. The first Head of the Department was Prof. Antonina Kompaniets (till 2000). In 2000-2001 it was headed by Prof. Oleksandr Snurnikov. Since 2001 till now, the Department is headed by Dr. Igor Vysekantsev. In 2008, the Department was transformed to the Department of Long-Term Storage of Biological Objects at Low Temperatures and Cryomicrobiology, and in 2016 to the Department of Cryomicrobiolog. The Department includes the Laboratory of Microbiology, resposible for performing different microbiological researches and support of the Department's projects.
Dr. Igor Vysekantsev	SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS cold anabiosis and artificial anhydrobiosis of microorganisms; development of methods for long-term storage at low temperatures and lyophilization of microorganisms and biologically active compounds, in particular immobilized ones; participation in clinical trials of antibiotics of the new generation Resulting from the performed R&D works and the patents obtained, two technologies entitled as "Technology of manufacturing and storing the drug for treating intestinal infections" and "Technology for wound healing" were registered at the Department of Innovation and Technology Transfer of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Also, we contributed to the creation of low temperature banks for rabies virus industrial strains for manufacturing of the anti-rabies vaccines at JSC "Biolik" (Kharkiv, Ukraine).
