P.A.Verbolovich was heard of departmentwas published more than 400 published works. Peter Alekseevich was actively engaged in scientific activities, which was devoted to the muscle and evolutionary biochemistry and pathological chemistry of myoglobin. At the time, Department of Biochemistry AGMI was incorporated into the leading research institutions in the Soviet Union for the Study of myoglobin.

During those years all the educational and methodological work of the department was headed by Professor T.J.Polosuhina, under her leadership, the department became one of the demonstration departments of the institute. Tatiana Jakovlevna was deputy chairman of the Central methodical commission of the Institute.

Pleshkova. Svetlana Mikhailovna started to be engaged biochemistry since the 2nd year in a scientific student club. After defense of her PhD dissertation worked as assistant department of biochemistry, then she headed of Biochemical Central Research Laboratoryof AGMI. In 1979, S.M. Pleshkova defended her dissertation for degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences.
Since 1986 to 1992 she was dean of the medical faculty of the institute. It has more than 270 publications, including one monograph, 25 manuals, 1 textbook, and she author of 10 patents for inventions.
