Scientists of the Laboratory work in the frames of the research program "Studies into the nuclear apparatus and cytoplasm of free-living and parasitic unicellular organisms", which at present involves the following projects:

–  The nuclear apparatus of Protozoa: structural diversity and genetic plasticity.

–  Heat shock proteins in free-living amoebae and ciliated protists.

–  Structural-functional organization of sensitive to hormones and hormone-like substances the adenylyl and guanylyl cyclase signaling systems in ciliates and their involvement in regulation of cellular functions.

–  Diversity and ecology of planktonic ciliates in the Baltic Sea.

At the Laboratory a unique Amoebae Cultures Collection of Institute of Cytology – ACCIC(SPb) is maintained for many years.

During the past 50 years, the researchers of the Laboratory published about 1600 original papers and review articles, and 16 monographs, textbooks and manuals.
