In 1994 the laboratory was renamed into the laboratory of endocrine regulation. Since 2011 until now the laboratory is called “The laboratory of biochemistry of adaptation and ontogenesis of animals”. From 2011 to 2013 duties of the laboratory head were performed by Dr. O. M. Buchko. From 2013 until now the head of the laboratory is Dr. of science, senior researcher R. Ya. Iskra.
