The article deals with the phenomenon of English borrowings in the field of biotechnology in modern Ukrainian terminology. The object of the study is English borrowed biotechnological terminological units selected from specialized dictionaries, scientific works on biotechnology and Internet sites devoted to the creation and production of new modified organisms and products. The study identifies the main trends and motivational factors that determine the process of introducing English borrowings into the modern Ukrainian biotechnology terminology. The key motivations for borrowing English terms in the field of biotechnology include the lack of equivalents in the native language, the need to differentiate between concepts, specialization, and socio-psychological factors that affect the prestige of foreign words. The article also examines the structural aspects of English lexical borrowings in the field of biotechnology, including simple and derived terms, as well as composites. The article emphasizes the widespread use of English borrowed multicomponent terms of the biotechnology industry in the Ukrainian language, which indicates a tendency to detail and clarify objects in scientific discourse. The analysis of lexical borrowings in the field of biotechnology shows the dynamic development of terminology in the Ukrainian language, as well as the influence of English on this process. This is an important aspect for scientific communication and further development of modern technologies
