Initiation, development and achievements of molecular-biological and molecular-genetic research in Ukraine (on the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the NAS of Ukraine)
Abstract
The paper is focused on the main events that initiated molecular biological and molecular genetic research in Ukraine. It examines the main directions and achievements of these sciences in the Sector of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the D. K. Zabolotny Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR that was the forerunner of the IMBG. The scientific and organizational activities of the IMBG and the contribution of its employees to the development of modern biology are briefly analyzed over the 50 years of the institute’s existence.
