The faculty has 5 departments (botany, zoology, plant physiology and microbiology, human and animal physiology, genetics and biotechnology). The Faculty of Biology has 66 employees. Of these, 7 Doctors of Science (10.60%), 37 Candidates of Science, Associate Professors (56.06%) and 22 Assistants without academic degrees (33, 33%). The scientific potential at the faculty is 71.4%.
The scientific schools existing at the faculty in the field of Botany, Plant Physiology, Zoology, Biochemistry and Genetics carry out scientific research begun by the founders of these schools and continued by their students in the study and analysis of the systematic, biochemical, physiological, genetic and biotechnological characteristics of flora and fauna of the Zarafshan Valley, as well as the introduction of methods of their rational use into production.
The faculty has a Zoological Museum, which includes more than 4,000 exhibits, a Greenhouse, growing more than 1,000 specimens of 250 plant species, the Herbarium fund, including more than a thousand plant specimens, an entomological collection covering almost all insect species of the local fauna, as well as educational modern laboratories equipped with the latest equipment.
