After graduation in 1978 he defended his candidate thesis on the topic: "Phytochemical study of the Oxytropis komarovii". In 1996 he defended his doctoral thesis on the topic: "Phytochemical study of plants of the genera Immortelle, Yarrow, Tansy, Handelia of the Aster family". The department was equipped with equipment, microscopes, tables, etc. Created herbarium and raw materials fund. Baymukhambetov M.A. is the author of 160 scientific and scientific-methodical works.
In 2004-2005 the Department was headed by the candidate of technical sciences Tashmenov Rakhim Sarsenovich.

Under his leadership, in 2012 organized a laboratory of medicinal plants at the department and organized numerous expeditions to various regions of the South Kazakhstan region in order to study valuable medicinal plants used in folk medicine. The theme of the scientific work of the Department: "Isolation and research of biologically active substances from medicinal plants of South Kazakhstan and the creation on their basis new phytopreparations of a wide spectrum of action".
The medicinal plants, which collected during the expeditions were subjected to pharmacognostical, phytochemical and pharmacological studies. The research results were published in journals with impact factors, collections of international conferences.
Scientific and technical projects developed for promising types of local flora plant raw materials.
From 2018 to 2021, the head of the Department of Pharmacognosy headed by the Candidate of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Acting Associate Professor Umiruli Murat Adikhanuly.
Since 2021, the Department is headed by the candidate of pharmaceutical sciences, Acting Professor Orynbassarova Kulpan Kenzhebayevna.
