Description
Summary:In 2021, it has been 100 years since the beginning of the scientific career of the famous radiobiologist and geneticist Prof. Nikolay V. Timofeeff-Ressovsky. Among the scientific fields he developed from 1921 to 1981 were physical biology, genetic engineering, the amplifier principle, and population radiobiology. However, it would be unfair to consider that Timofeeff-Ressovsky’s creative contribution was limited to the confines of his laboratory. On the contrary, his unstoppable and passionate creative mind required the expansion of scientific contacts with the world’s best laboratories, biologists, physicists and chemists. This article highlights the connection between the creativity of N.V. Timofeeff-Ressovsky and the works of his contemporaries, as well as the fruitful ideas of today.
