Areas of research: 1. Study of physical and mechanical properties and structure of biological macromolecules, cells, biological fluids, soft and hard tissues, individual organs and systems (Physical and Mathematical Sciences). 2. study of the regularities of movement of biological fluids, heat and mass transfer, stresses and deformations in cells, tissues and organs (Physical and Mathematical Sciences). 3. study of the mechanics of cell movement and subcellular structures (membranes, cytoskeleton, cytoplasm, cilia, etc.), including mitotic movements, phagocytosis, vesicular transport (Physical and Mathematical Sciences). 4. study of the mechanics and characteristics of locomotor movement, swimming, flight and ground movement of animals, mechanics of purposeful human movements, movement of aggregates of living organisms, motor activity of plants (Physical and Mathematical Sciences). 5. Study of mechanical, hydraulic, thermodynamic and electrical bases and manifestations of regulation (control) in biological objects (Physical and Mathematical Sciences). 6. Development on the basis of mechanics methods of means for investigation of properties and phenomena in living systems, for directed influence on them and their protection from the influence of external factors (Physical and Mathematical, Technical and Biological Sciences). 7. Use of structures, properties and functions of living organisms as models for the design and manufacture of machines and materials (Technical Sciences). 8. Study of the mechanical bases and manifestations of the processes of growth, development and adaptation of biological objects (Physical, Mathematical and Biological Sciences). 9. Creation of substitutes for organs and tissues, biomechanical devices and appliances (Physical, Mathematical and Technical Sciences). 10. Creation of substitutes of organs and tissues (Biological sciences). 11. Development of engineering principles and development of the concept of engineering approach in biology for creation of artificial organs, for compensation of insufficiency of physiological functions (Biological and technical sciences). 12.
