Over the years of independent Ukraine, our university has turned into one of the leading medical universities of the IV level of accreditation. It is a member of the International and European Association of Universities. Due to this, the level of training of students and specialists is close to world standards. Today, about 10 thousand students and trainees study at six faculties and 66 departments of the university, 3000 of them are citizens of 52 foreign countries. Teaching of foreign students is carried out in Russian, Ukrainian and English. Postgraduate education is provided for 250 postgraduate students, trainees, masters and medical residents.

The Ocean Genome Legacy Center (OGL) is a non-profit marine DNA and tissue repository dedicated to exploring and preserving the wealth of information contained in the genomes of endangered, rare, unusual and ecologically critical marine organisms. OGL’s mission is to collect, describe, and preserve genomes from marine species, and to make these materials widely available for scientific research. By providing secure storage and broad public access to genomic materials and a forum for sharing samples, data, and ideas, OGL aims to serve as a catalyst for research that can help to protect marine ecosystems and improve the human condition. Detailed data are available for each specimen listed in our public online catalog.

Northwestern University Ecological Park (NUEBG) was established as a plant diversity conservation facility and repository in the Northwestern Luzon, Philippines. It houses living plant collection as well as an herbarium - The Herbarium of the Northwestern Luzon, Philippines with international code HNUL, including a small collection of preserved natural history specimen.It also preserve seeds and pollen and spores of plants and fungi as part of the Millenium Seedbank Partnership program, and a DNA collecting project as an output of the Global Genome Initiative in 2021-2022. The Botanic Garden was established in 2007, and has been a hub for biodiversity research as it also manages several satellite in situ conservation sites. It is both registered to the BGCI and the IABG, a level IV in the Arboretum Network accreditation. A member of the Southeast Asian Garden Network and the Botanic Gardens and Arboreta Network of the Philippines. The garden's enormous living plant collections houses morethan 230 families of the kingdom Plantae and are used extensively for plant systematics following the latest APG IV classification. This facility is managed by a private university, and has no government financial support.

The New York Botanical Garden is an iconic living museum and, since its founding in 1891, has served as an oasis in this busy metropolis. As a National Historic Landmark, this 250-acre site's verdant landscape supports over one million living plants in extensive collections. Each year 900,000 visitors enjoy the Garden not only for its remarkable diversity of tropical, temperate, and desert flora, but also for programming that ranges from renowned exhibitions in the Haupt Conservatory to festivals on Daffodil Hill. The Garden is also a major educational institution. More than 300,000 people annually—among them Bronx families, school children, and teachers—learn about plant science, ecology, and healthful eating through NYBG's hands-on,curriculum-based programming. Nearly 90,000 of those visitors are children from underserved neighboring communities, while more than 3,000 are teachers from New York City's public school system participating in professional development programs that train them to teach science courses at all grade levels. NYBG operates one of the world's largest plant research and conservation programs, with nearly 200 staff members—including 80 Ph.D. scientists—working in the Garden's state-of-the-art molecular labs as well as in the field, where they lead programs in 18 countries.

The museum’s genetic resource collections began more than 40 years ago as curator-driven research material. Over time, we realized that dispersed collections are vulnerable to equipment failures and sample mismanagement or loss. Therefore, we began an organized effort to centralize these collections, first within some research departments, and then throughout the museum. In 2010 NMNH constructed a biorepository, which began receiving collections in 2011. The current capacity is approximately 4.2 million 2 ml cryovials that are housed in 76 ultra-cold mechanical and liquid nitrogen freezers and a small number of refrigerators. All cold storage units are monitored constantly for performance. NMNH uses a modified version of FreezerPro (Ruro.com) to maintain and track inventory. FreezerPro is connected via an Application Programming Interface (API) to KE EMu, the museum’s catalog system. EMu provides a limited form of the catalog information to allow easier identification of samples. Each vial is assigned a locally unique Biorepository Number by FreezerPro to facilitate a unified system for locating and identifying samples. The collection includes insects, birds, terrestrial plants, marine and terrestrial invertebrates, algae, fish, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, bacteria and protozoans. Current strengths are in bird, marine and terrestrial mammal, and insect holdings, although significant projects have been initiated that will broaden and deepen the taxonomical representation as well as environments. Human tissues, commercial, and agricultural products are not a part of the collection. A complete inventory of all holdings is underway. The entire collection presently numbers more than 250,000 and could be twice that number. All these materials are available for use in genomic research, toxicology studies and environmental monitoring.
