Abstract
The article, based on unpublished sources from the Central State Archive of St. Petersburg, shows the main milestones of the life and scientific achievements of Joseph Afroimovich Sterin, who headed the Department of Pharmacology at the Leningrad Pharmaceutical Institute from 1946 to 1951 (currently St. Petersburg State Chemical and Pharmaceutical University). I.A. Sterin began his scientific activity in 1926 and did not stop it even during the Great Patriotic War. From August 1941 to April 1942, I.A. Sterin was assigned the duties of the head of the Department of Pharmacology of the 2nd LMI. After evacuation from the university in 1941 to Pyatigorsk, he headed the Department of Pharmacology at the Pyatigorsk Medical Institute, and since 1942 – at the newly formed Krasnoyarsk Medical Institute. After returning from evacuation, since 1946, I.A. Sterin was confirmed as the head of the Department of Pharmacology of the Leningrad Pharmaceutical Institute, which he headed until 1951.
In 1945, Joseph Afroimovich Sterin defended his dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences. I.A.Sterin’s scientific research was aimed at studying the mechanisms of muscle fatigue, developing the correction of methemoglobinemia, and evaluating the pharmacological activity of medicinal plants in Siberia. Part of the work carried out under his leadership was devoted to the pharmacological study of plants, in particular their antispasmodic and hypotensive effects, as well as the search for new antithyroid drugs – the relationship between the chemical structure of the substance and its pharmacological action was clarified.
The life path of Joseph Afroimovich Sterin is a wonderful example of endless dedication, courage, dedication, professional and civic responsibility.
