1990-1991 years- cand.biol.sci., Posunko L. L.
1991-2001 years – dr. med. sci., professor Kazymbet P. K.

Since 2001, the department had been headed by Doctor of Medical Sciences, Kuandykov Esengeldy Userbaevich, which along with the strengthening of the previous achievements of faculty, made a great contribution to further development of material-technical and scientific basis of the department. for  productive work E.U Kuandykov awarded for the Order “Badge of Honor” and the badge “For Excellence in Education,” the medal “For Valiant Labor” and  diplomas.

E.U Kuandykov has author over 60 scientific and methodical works, six books and the Russian-Kazakh dictionary of basic genetic and biological terms. Under his leadership, there are defended  3 doctoral and three master’s theses.

By editing of Professor E.U Kuandykov The department’s   Staff  issued the modern textbook “Medical Biology and Genetics,” in two languages ​​with extended information block, and illustrated with colored drawings of all topics (2004), reprinted  the textbook for medical biology and genetics in Kazakh language (the authors E.U Kuandykov, S.A Abilaev, 2006). Due to changes in  discipline contents and renaming of  department into department of molecular biology and genetics have been prepared and published the following textbooks for students in Russian and Kazakh languages ​​(Medical Biology and Genetic), (E.U Kuandykov., Abilaev S.A.) ” «Молекулалық биология негіздері»  (E.U Kuandykov, L.Amanzholova, 2008), “Fundamentals of Molecular Biology (lectures)” (T.A Muminov, E.U Kuandykov., 2008), «жалпы және медициналық негетика негіздері» (E.U Kuandykov., Nuralieva U.A.., 2009 y).

In 2005, Professor  E.U Kuandykov was appointed as the first provost of teaching methods and educational work KazNMU after named .S.J. Asfendiyarov.

In 2005-2006 years in charge of  Medical Biology and Genetic department, was  associate Cand. Biol.Sci., Zhumasheva Rahima Tazhibaevna.

From 2006 until now , Professor E.U Kuandykov. Has the management of department. Currently, the department has: 1 professor, Dr. MED. Sci., E.U Kuandykov,
4 Associate Professor: Cand. MED. Sci., K.S Nurtaeva , Cand. Biol.Sci., S.K Almuhambetova, Dr. Biol.Sci. P.T Zhumasheva, Cand. Biol.Sci., U.A Nuralieva , A senior lecturer K.A Tarakova, 8 teachers: A.R Kulukbaeva , G.T Kakisheva, I.K Nurpeisova , G.T Taneyeva , A.K Kydyrbaeva , K.E Zhuzjan , M.J Zhumagul , J.A  Kashaganova 3 senior laboratory assistants: A.J Mustafayeva, B.O Igisinova , A.N Eshengalieva , a probationer A.B Aubakirova.

According to  introduction of new teaching discipline, on molecular biology and medical genetics at GOSO-2006, the Medical Biology and Genetics Department was renamed into Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 2006.

The   Staff department made decisive contribution to support educational and methodical new discipline. Employees of the department by Professor E.U Kunadykov’s directions were prepared and approved by Ministry of Health of the RK model program in molecular biology and genetics for all specialties, except nursing (general medicine, dentistry, public healthcare, pharmacy).

On basis of model program in department working programs have been developed and training-methodical complexes in all specialties, published in hard copy.

During this period, cooperators of  Department published six books and four manuals. 4 textbook on molecular biology and genetics in Russian and Kazakh languages ​​used in teaching medical institutions of Astana, Aktobe, Semipalatinsk.

To ensure clarity and improve the quality of lectures and practical classes were selected and printed, more than 200 drawings, tables, schemes on molecular biology and genetics in Russian and Kazakh languages.

The department actively introducing modern innovative learning technologies, with free access to online students in practical classes (interactive  board), problem-based learning.

The results of scientific and educational activities of Department cooperators  are reflected in 102 scientific publications in journals  near and far abroad, domestic journals and collections  scientific works of University. staff Department participated in congresses, conferences, symposia, in Ufa, Novosibirsk, Bishkek, Astrakhan, Semipalatinsk, Almaty, Astana, etc.

The   Department cooperators are actively working in administrative structure of the University: Professor E.U Kuandykov served as first vice-rector of the University, assistant professor S.K Almuhambetova worked in the dean’s office for many years, Senior Lecturer K.A Tarakova, R.T Zhumasheva is leading general medicine faculty. U.A Nuralieva directs the Department of the QMS.
Labor staff department marked award winning: Professor E.U Kuandykov – the Order “Badge of Honor” and the badge “For Excellence in Education,” the medal “For Valiant Labor” and honorary diplomas. Associate Professor K.S Nurtaieva – Breastplate ” Health Excellent “, S.K Almuhambetova -Silver Medal of the University, R.T Dzhumasheva -the bronze medal of the university.
One of the important activities of department is to impart students with independent work skills of scientific literature, ability in creatively analyze and summarize the achievements of science, apply them in learning process.
To achieve these goals actively conducts student scientific circle «biologist».   Since 1991, the NSC has conducted in two languages: in state and in Russian. Every year, dozens of students participate in, while speak from abstracts reports in Russian and Kazakh languages, as well as reports on results of own research. The CPC indicator effectiveness, “biologist” are repeated winners becoming Members of the circle at scientific conferences in the Day of Science University (Kozbakov A. Mergenbaeva A., M. Kulmaganbetov). Their works have been published in KazNMU student work anthologies.

The  Molecular Biology and Genetics Department has determined to improve basic skills of PPP profile faculties all medical institutions of republic.

One of the most important activities of the molecular biology and genetics department is  educational work among students.

The purpose of educational work is to educate students in patriotism spirit, internationalism, high morals and spirituality.
