Background
Georgiy Pavlovich Georgiev was born in 1933.
Georgiy Pavlovich Georgiev was born in 1933.
In 1956, Georgiy graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the 1st Moscow Sechenov Medical Institute. In 1959, defended his thesis "Some data on the chemical composition of nuclear structures". In 1962, defended his doctoral thesis "Ribonucleoproteins of the cell nucleus". In 1968, was awarded with the title of professor.
Georgiy Pavlovich Georgiev worked in the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1963, Head of the Laboratory of Nucleic Acid Biosynthesis, Institute of Molecular Biology, USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1970, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Chemistry of Physiologically Active Compounds of the USSR Academy of Sciences (specialty "molecular biology"). In 1987, Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Academician) in the Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Chemistry of Physiologically Active Compounds (specialty "molecular biology").
In 1990, Georgiy organized and headed the Institute of Biology of the USSR Academy of Sciences gene, was elected director of this institute. In 2006, Georgiy Pavlovich supervisor of the Institute of Biology of the Gene of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Adviser of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2007, Member of the Bureau of ONIT RAS, Chairman of the Doctoral Dissertation Council, Chief Editor of the journal "Genetics", Member of the Editorial Board of the journal "Reports of the Academy of Sciences".
Academician Georgiev is one of the founders of molecular biology and molecular genetics of higher organisms. Georgiev described a heterogeneous nuclear RNA and showed that it was a high-molecular precursor of cytoplasm mRNA (1961), discovered nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles of the informosome, and established their structure (1965-1970). For the first time with the help of electron microscopy he demonstrated the existence of a nuclear skeleton (nuclear matrix), to which DNA is attached. He discovered mobile genetic elements in animals. Carried out researches in the field of molecular oncology. New genes have been discovered and studied (mts1, tag7).
Academician Georgiev is the author and co-author of more than 450 scientific works, 2 discoveries, 1 monograph and more than 10 patents. He trained 35 doctors and more than 110 candidates of science.
Member of the Board of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology; Member of the Council for Grants of the President of the Russian Federation to support the leading scientific schools.
