1) to formulate scientific problems in the field of virology, interpreting modern scientific achievements in this area, selecting modern methodology and technology for their solution;
2) to draw up documents for obtaining sanitary and epidemiological conclusions for various bioobjects and biomaterials as a result of applied research in order to prevent potential biological threats, using knowledge in the field of Kazakhstani and international legislation on ensuring biological safety for inactivation of infectious agents, biosecurity of personnel and the environment;
3) to create management systems for biological safety levels in order to recognize, control and study potential virological threats based on the creation of models for predicting the possible consequences of the release of an infectious agent into the environment to calculate the effectiveness of possible anti-epidemic measures;
4) to develop strategies and research programs in the field of virology for government organizations, firms, enterprises, companies and institutions of biological, medical, environmental and agricultural profiles, using innovative project management based on modern theories and molecular methods of virological analysis in related research areas;
5) to develop new methods, technologies and innovative products to solve relevant problems of biomedicine, agriculture, ecology, food industry as a result of fundamental research based on methods of laboratory diagnostics of viral infections, Omics technologies, identification of viral markers based on immune responses;
