DENYSENKO VALENTYNA PAVLIVNA: A WAY OF SCIENTIST (DEDICATED TO THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF WIDE RECOGNITION OF AETHONIUM)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of investigation is to acquire a society of medical workers with main stages of scientific activities of V. P. Denysenko, Associate Professor of Department of General Chemistry performed during her work in Chernivtsi Medical Institute in 1951–1974, which was crowned by invention of a new medicine “Aethonium” and its introduction into regular practice.
