Vadim Pokrovsky, Doctor of Medical Sciences, RUDN University scientist, became a laureate of the Moscow Government Prize
“Studying enzymes with antitumor activity, Department of Biochemistry named after T.T. Berezova has been practicing for over 50 years. Among these enzymes, asparaginase has long been known, and for a long time it seemed that it was difficult to say anything new in this area. Over the past 10 years, we have been able to demonstrate new mechanisms of action of asparaginases, as well as prove the possibility of using enzymes as part of pharmacological pairs. Some of them are capable of converting non-toxic prodrugs into cytotoxic compounds directly in tumors. This significantly changes our understanding of the mechanism of the antitumor effect of enzymes, expanding opportunities for the development of new drugs. This award was given for many years of work carried out in collaboration with the National Medical Research Center of Oncology named after. N.N. Blokhin, Institute of Molecular Biology named after. V.A. Engelhardt and the Research Institute of Biomedical Chemistry named after V.N. Orekhovich”, - emphasized Vadim Pokrovsky.
This year, almost 1,300 applications were submitted to the competition. The award committee selected 50 winners. The award ceremony took place on February 7, the eve of Russian Science Day. The awards were presented by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
We continue to share the stories of front-line soldiers who created the Peoples’ Friendship University. Georgy Bruchinsky was born in 1917, graduated from the Leningrad Forestry Academy in 1939, and in 1941 graduated from the basic faculty of the Ivanovo Military Political School.
On the eve of Victory Day, we share the stories of front-line soldiers who, after the Great Patriotic War, participated in the creation of the Peoples' Friendship University and educated a new generation of students.
