Overview

The Ukrainian Biophysical Society (Українське біофізичне товариство, УБФТ) is a voluntary, self-governing scientific public organization of teachers, researchers, postgraduate students, and students engaged in biophysics or related fields. It operates as a legal entity with its own balance sheet, bank accounts, seal, stamps, letterhead, and symbols approved by its Council. Its activities extend across the entire territory of Ukraine in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine, current legislation, and its own Statute. The Society's governing bodies are located in Kyiv at 4 Bohomoltsia Street, at the Institute of Physiology of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Its stated purpose is to protect the interests of its members in state authorities and administration, promote the realization of their lawful rights, and unite the efforts of biophysicists to help solve fundamental and applied scientific problems in biophysics. Its tasks include promoting the development of international scientific cooperation, enhancing the prestige of biophysics as a science, coordinating scientific research in various areas of modern biophysics among member organizations and research teams, supporting the search for and scientific substantiation of promising ideas in biophysics, facilitating their development and implementation, promoting international contacts in biophysics, raising the professional level of members, and uniting members' efforts to address problems facing biophysics as a science. As of 2012, the Society's leadership included President Mykola Stepanovych Miroshnychenko and Vice-Presidents Svitlana Volodymyrivna Bespalova and Ihor Yaroslavovych Kotsan. The Presidium included Miroshnychenko, Kotsan, Mykhailo Fedorovych Shuba, Serhii Oleksiiovych Kosterin, Liudmyla Ivanivna Ostapenko, Serhii Panteleimonovych Sitko, and Viktor Semenovych Martyniuk. The Society maintains regional branches in Kyiv, Sevastopol, Vinnytsia, Volyn, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zakarpattia, Zaporizhzhia, Crimea, Lviv, Kharkiv, and Cherkasy, each led by a regional chair. The Society is a membership-based scientific community rather than a commercial enterprise, but it operates as a registered legal entity with its own official website and organizational identity. It serves as a national platform for biophysicists to coordinate research, share knowledge, and connect with the international scientific community.
