Abstract
The essay is dedicated to Professor David Abelievich (or Aleksandrovich) Zilber, who made significant contributions to the development of educational activities at the Leningrad Chemical-Pharmaceutical Institute. The foundation of this research is based on available archival materials, including family documents, which allowed for a deeper understanding of his multifaceted professional activity. The analysis of documentary sources and published works of D. A. Zilber reveals not only his organizational efforts but also his innovative scientific approaches in the field of occupational hygiene. His role in training specialists — engineers, chemists, and technologists — capable of successfully working in the chemical-pharmaceutical industry is hard to overestimate. The essay presents a brief historical and biographical study that recreates the image of a prominent scientist and a brilliant organizer of science. It briefly describes the scientist’s activities at the 2nd Leningrad Medical Institute and the Leningrad Institute of Occupational Hygiene and Professional Diseases. It highlights not only David Zilber’s professional achievements but also his personal qualities, such as determination, persistence, and dedication, which contributed to his success. Zilber’s works and ideas continue to influence modern approaches to the hygienic education of pharmaceutical workers.
