A new feature has been launched in the Active Citizen project vote, participants of which will be able to name a street in honor of the famous microbiologist.
The unnamed passage is located in the northwest of the city in the Shchukino district. It runs near the N.F. Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology between Gamaleya and Zhivopisnaya Streets. The center's staff propose naming this area "Academician Zilber Street" in honor of the founder of the Soviet school of medical virology, a distinguished microbiologist, virologist, immunologist, and epidemiologist.
In the 1930s, the scientist led expeditions to combat epidemics. In particular, he discovered the vector of Far Eastern tick-borne encephalitis.
Voters can support the initiative to name the road "Akademika Zilbera Street".
Previously, a neighboring road in the same area was named in honor of another microbiologist, Zinaida Ermolyeva, the creator of domestic penicillin, who made a significant contribution to the development of science.
