Twenty five years of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine – progress and priorities
for future of radiation medicine and biology
After the creation of the Academy of Medical
Sciences of Ukraine in 1993 the Research
Center for Radiation Medicine was among the first
institutions to join the Academy (fig. 1). Establishing the Academy was among the first steps of the
independent Ukrainian government and aimed to
provide a high level health care for population. It
was extremely needed for the minimization of
Chornobyl medical consequences. This choice was
related to a growing recognition of the scientific
research in fulfilling the Ñenter’s mission – study of
the effects of low-dose radiation on human body
and radiation protection of the exposed population.
The Center entered the Academy as a potent institution. Director-General Dr. Anatoly Romanenko
and his first deputy prof. Oles Pyatak were lucky to
concentrate in three institutes of the Center a talented workforce including director of the Institute of
Clinical Radiology prof Volodymyr Bebeshko,
director of the Institute of Epidemiology and
Prophylaxis of radiation Injuries prof. Volodymyr
Buzunov, director of the Institute of Experimental
Radiology prof. Mikhail Rudnev. Drs. T. Azarenkova, S. Galkina, V. Boer, T. Treskunova were
appointed as scientific secretaries. Dosimetry division was headed by brilliant prof Ilya Likhtarev and
his staff Drs. I. Los, V. Korzun, V. Repin, O. Perevoznikov, O. Bondarenko, V. Chumak and others.
