KREPS, EVGENII MIKHAILQVICH (Physiologist) 



E. M. Kreps was born April 30, 1899. He graduated in 1923 

 from the Military Medical Academy and in 1924-1931 taught 

 there. From 1923 to 1934 he was Chief of the Physiology Labo- 

 ratory of the Murmansk Biological Station. During 1931-1951 

 he worked in the Emergency Rescuing Commission of the Naval 

 Fleet. In 1934-1937 he was professor at Leningrad University. 

 Beginning in 1935, he has worked at the Sechenov Institute of 

 Evolutionary Physiology of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, 

 and in 1960 he became the Director. In 1946 he was elected 

 Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, 

 and is also a member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Medical 

 Sciences. 



Kreps' works are concerned with the comparative physiology 

 and biochemistry of the nervous system and with functions of 

 blood in breathing. He established the regulation of enzyme ac- 

 tivity by the central nervous system. Kreps also studied the 

 physiology of divers and marine chemistry. He designed oxy- 

 hemometers and utilized them in medical practice.
