About the Institute

The Research Institute of Natural Sciences and Agroinnovations at Bukhara State University brings together education, research, and innovation in natural and agricultural sciences. Its historical roots extend to the Faculty of Natural Sciences established in 1930 within the Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute.

The institution began operating under its present name on September 3, 2026, following the relevant order of the University Rector. The Institute is directed by A.A. Qodirov.

According to the September 25, 2026 report, the Institute has 5 departments and 111 academic staff members. Its 16 bachelor's programs enroll 1,290 students, while 8 master's specializations serve 238 postgraduate students. Teaching is organized in three shifts.

Its main areas encompass biology, chemistry, biotechnology, ecology, geography, agronomy, soil science, food security, and agricultural innovations.

Following the institution's transition to university status, the Faculty of Natural Sciences was renamed the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology.

2005 — Faculty of Natural Sciences

The Faculty of Agriculture merged with the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology, establishing the Faculty of Natural Sciences.

2019 — Establishment of a Separate Faculty

The Faculty of Agronomy and Biotechnology separated from the Faculty of Natural Sciences.

2024 — Reunification

The Faculties of Natural Sciences and Agronomy and Biotechnology merged to form the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Agrobiotechnology, headed by A.A. Qodirov.

September 3, 2026 — Research Institute

The Faculty was renamed the Research Institute of Natural Sciences and Agroinnovations, with A.A. Qodirov serving as Director.
