The Chair was founded in 1998 and now it is headed by Academician of the NAS of Ukraine, MD., Prof. Anatoliy M. Goltsev and a foreign member of the NAS of Ukraine, Prof. Barry FULLER (Great Britain). The activities of the Chair are based on the principles of UNESCO, supported by the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the Ukrainian ational Commission for UNESCO. The activity of the Chair is backed by The International Medical Education Trust 2000 (IMET 2000). The main purpose of the Chair is to keep the international standards and national basic research in cryobiology and cryomedicine. Scientific links between the Chair and the world's leading research biological and medical centers greatly contribute to regular exchanges of specialists; promote the spread of knowledge in cryobiology and cryomedicine and training of foreign graduate students. Young scientists and specialists from various fields of biology, medicine and related sciences are mainly involved in the work of the Chair, enabling to conduct unique interdisciplinary research.

ACTIVITIES
The scientific activity of the Chair is the development of modern and improvement of existing techniques of cryopreservation of biological objects of different levels of organization and long-term storage at a low-temperature bank of biological objects, which is based at the Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine of NAS of Ukraine, with matching the requirements of the European Association of Tissue Banks. Particular attention is paid to the establishing the cryobanks of organs, tissues and cells of animals and humans, the gene pool of rare and endangered species of plants and animals, the development of new biological products.
One of the priority areas of the Chair is a comprehensive exchange of scientific and information for the implementation of knowledge and experience into practical medicine to improve health and life quality.
The Chair constantly promotes the professional level of its members, by their training in the leading research centers of Europe and financial supporting their participation in international scientific conferences, symposia, congresses, schools.
