Abstract
The life and work of the academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences N.F. Gamaleya is analyzed. Little-known facts from the scientist’s life are noted. It is shown that with his scientific works and organizational activities he enriched many chapters of microbiology and epidemiology, successfully studied the biology of pathogens, pathogenesis, substantiated the prevention of such most dangerous infectious diseases as rabies, plague, cholera, smallpox, anthrax and typhus. The scientific creative activity of N.F. Gamaleya lasted almost 65 years: he published his first work at the age of 26 (1885), and his last at the age of 90 (1949). The scientific, pedagogical and practical work of N.F. Gamaleya fully developed only under Soviet power. It is noted that during the civil war N.F. Gamaleya worked on the anti-epidemic front in difficult conditions, providing the population and the Red Army with vaccination material, and persistently carried out work to eliminate smallpox. It is no exaggeration to say that N.F. Gamaleya’s research determined the directions in which various sections of applied microbiology developed in our country.
