Tag #143410 - Interview #78176 (Rachil Meitina)

I went to work at the biochemical laboratory of the central skin and veneorology hospital in Moscow. I worked there from 1943 till 1949. I defended my candidate’s thesis ‘Vitamin B and its influence on carbohydrate metabolism’ in 1949. We injected this vitamin into the brain of animals by the method of Lina Shtern [29] and watched how the skin was changing. This work also had practical significance: we offered treatment to patients by my method.
