In 2023, the Institute of Immunology and Human Genomics was established Bukhara branch at the Bukhara State Medical Institute under the name of Abu Ali Ibn Sina. The first head of the branch, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor N.I. Hikmatova, continues to lead the laboratory to this day.

During the existence of the laboratory, the following problems were studied:

• the influence of pesticides on the immune status of humans and experimental animals;
• immunological profile (normative indicators) of residents of various regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan;
• the influence of various factors (ecological, physical, chemical, etc.) on the immune system of experimental animals;
• Investigation of immune indicators in various pathological conditions (autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders, pediatric somatic diseases, acute and chronic viral diseases of the liver, parasitic diseases, TORCH infections, etc.).
• The laboratory works in close cooperation with medical universities and research institutes of Uzbekistan, near and far abroad.
