He is one of the founders of the scientific school for studying the molecular mechanisms of the natural and artificial animal hypobiosis development and maintenance in Ukraine. Serhiy Melnychuk and his colleagues improved existing methods and developed new methods for the state transition of certain biological objects (animals, fish cells) in the state of artificial hypobiosis. And certain molecular and biochemical characteristics of the impact of this phenomenon on the key links of energy and nitrogen metabolism and the free radical formation in tissues were shown. Melnychuk S.D. was the first who proposed the mechanism of anaerobic energy transformation of the pyridine nucleotides reduction and ATP in the animal cells under conditions of natural hypobiosis.

The list of his scientific publications includes more than 130 works, including one monograph, 9 books and 5 manuals. He is the author of 12 patents for inventions in Ukraine.
Two PhDs completed their doctoral study under his supervision and two men are preparing for a PhD defense.
