The Laboratory of Medical Cybernetics was established in 1969 at the Institute of Cybernetics of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan and until 1980 was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Husan Kadyrovich Kadyrov. Then the laboratory was taken over by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Fotima Tuichievna Adilova and still manages it. The laboratory has worked on solving computer diagnostic problems, modeling and predicting the outcomes of diseases in various fields of medicine. The laboratory has worked closely with specialized research centers and clinics in Uzbekistan and other republics. The Laboratory of Medical and Biological Informatics has been operating within the Institute of Mathematics since 2007.

Medical and Biological Informatics - studies the practical foundations of chemistry, biology and medical informatics using mathematical modeling methods, methods of data mining and artificial intelligence. and develops applications. These methods can provide solutions to common problems: computer drug design, improving the predictive properties of models and creating new molecules with the desired properties, computer diagnostics and patient monitoring, decision-making in health care.

Research has been conducted on the basis of many foreign grants. In particular, 5 NATO grants totaling $ 730,000, an EU grant of € 15,000 and a grant from the SCOPES Science Foundation of Switzerland worth $ 26,500 were implemented.

At the initiative of F.T. Adilova, a total of about $ 800,000 was raised from international funds and spent on laboratory equipment and research.

The laboratory has identified new patterns of disease development and designed technologies for computer diagnostics and optimization of the treatment in various fields of medicine, in cooperation with the clinics of the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan. These are telemedicine systems in hospitals in Tashkent, Karshi, Nukus, two military hospitals of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Tashkent, Fergana), diagnostic and treatment programs for various diseases. The effectiveness of the implementation is to improve the quality of medical care to the population.

The laboratory has been conducted research on the following topics "Mathematical modeling of the interaction of molecules using computer methods of multiparametric analysis of data in a grid environment", "Development of computer applications for the creation of new drugs", "Virtual methods of molecular optimization in the development of new drugs".

   Since April 2020, in framework of the  research topic: “COVID-19 Severity Prediction in Patients based on Anomaly Detection Approach” was developed a system for assessing the disease of patients with COVID-19. This software is being implemented in on-line for the Republican Scientific Center for Emergency Care.

In 2020, by Presidential decree, F.T. Adilova was awarded the Order of Labor Glory.

The laboratory actively cooperates with many institutes and universities, including:

- Moscow and Novosibirsk State Universities;

- Federal University of Kazan (Volga region);

- Universities of Stanford, North Carolina, North Dakota, Cincinnati (USA);

- Helmholtz Centrum Munich (Germany).
