 Health and as a consultant to the U. S.S.R. Academy of Medical 

 Sciences Laboratory on Cancer Biotherapy. From 1950 to 1952, 

 he was Chief of the U. S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Laboratory 

 on Isotopes and Irradiation. In 1952-1957, he was Director and . 

 Chief of the Radiobiology Laboratory of the U. S.S.R. Academy 

 of Sciences Institute of Biophysics. In 1954 he became chief 

 editor of the journal *' Biophysics," and in 1961 chief editor of
