The Institute of Biology is named after [[Jovan Hadži]], Slovene zoologist with Serbian origins, who was the head of the organisation until 1972. With current total of 18 employees, of which nine are researchers, five are supporting staff, and four are PhD candidates they perform basic and applied studies of plants and animals at the regional and global scales. Within the institute are three topical units, focusing on basic botany, basic zoology, and applied biology, respectively. The institute comprises its own library and a regional research station in [[Municipality of Tolmin|Tolmin]]. 
In 2011 the research group from the institute under the guidance of [[Matjaž Kuntner]] launched [[EZ Lab]]-  Evolutionary Zoology lab which covers many zoological topics that bear on evolution.
