UNIVERSITY OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF MOLDOVA<br />
BRIEf dESCRIpTIon <strong>of</strong> ThE oRganIzaTIon<br />
UCMB is a research unit <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> the Academy <strong>of</strong> Science <strong>of</strong> <strong>Moldova</strong>, comprising <strong>of</strong> 3<br />
laboratories : The Laboratory <strong>of</strong> Bioinformatics, Laboratory <strong>of</strong> Genomics, and Laboratory <strong>of</strong> Proteomics.<br />
Over 20 people are engaged in research activities, the majority being young scientists.<br />
The main objective <strong>of</strong> research is : • sunflower genetics and physiology; • cytoplasmic male sterility and<br />
the impact <strong>of</strong> abiotic and biotic factors; • the investigation <strong>of</strong> medicinal plants for their genetic variability<br />
and biochemical contents; • the exploratory analysis <strong>of</strong> gene expression under various conditions.<br />

• The development and implementation <strong>of</strong> informatics and mathematical tools for storing, efficient<br />
administration and manipulation <strong>of</strong> various types <strong>of</strong> biologic data. • Exploratory analysis <strong>of</strong> gene<br />
expression under various conditions; • Gene expression in frame <strong>of</strong> genetic system CMS-Rf and induced<br />
male sterility (IMS) in plants (sunflower) • The study <strong>of</strong> biochemical and molecular mechanism <strong>of</strong> hostparasite<br />
interactions (model system Helianthus annuus L.- Orobanche cumana Wallr.). • The analysis <strong>of</strong><br />
polymorphism in different cultivated plants for the evidence <strong>of</strong> some molecular markers <strong>of</strong> valuable traits<br />
• Genetic variability and biochemical content in medicinal plants. • GMO testing.<br />
