A. Bogomolets Institute of Physiology (Ukrainian: Інститут фізіології імені О. О. Богомольця, romanized: Instytut fiziolohii imeni O. O. Bohomoltsia) is a scientific institution of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine dedicated to biomedical research in the fields of physiology, biophysics, pathophysiology, neuroscience.
It is a leading research center in Ukraine for neuroscience, electrophysiology and cardiovascular diseases.
Predecessors of BIPH were Institute of clinical physiology of Academy of Sciences of Ukrainian SSR (established 9 May 1934) and Institute of experimental biology and pathology of Ministry of Health of Ukrainian SSR (established 1930).
[2] BIPH became a world-famous center for cellular physiology under his long-standing director Platon Kostiuk who was in charge in 1966–2010.
Kostiuk and his students were first to measure calcium currents through neuron soma,[3] distinguish between low-voltage activated calcium channels and high-voltage ones,[4] discover ATP-receptors and ASIC-mediated currents.
