1974
On the basis of the Government Decree on the development of molecular biology and biotechnology, the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Molecular Biology (VNII MB) was established by order of the Main Directorate of the Microbiological Industry under the Council of Ministers of the USSR (No. 1683 dated 08/02/74). The main task assigned to the Institute in those years was to study the fundamental features of the structure and function of particularly dangerous viruses (OOV), the experimental study of the pathogenesis of OOV, the study of the natural variability of specific viruses based on the analysis of the primary structure of their isolates obtained from various regions of the world, in order to predict the possibility of the emergence of new pathogens pathogenic to humans. In the applied plan, the MB Research Institute was tasked with the development of vaccine and diagnostic drugs using the latest achievements of genetic engineering.
The All-Union Production Association "Biopreparat" made a decisive contribution to the creation and organization of the MB Research Institute. With the direct participation of professors V.I.Ogarkov, V.D.Belyaev, Yu.T.Kalinin, A.A.Vorobyov, I.V.Nikonov, L.A.Klyucharev, the laboratory and experimental base of the Research Institute of MB was created.
The Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences played an important role in the creation and establishment of the MB Research Institute. Academicians M.A.Lavrentiev, G.I.Marchuk, D.K.Belyaev, D.K.Knorre took a great part in its organization. The MB Research Institute was provided with temporary areas in Akademgorodok, where scientific work was carried out during the first 4 years in close cooperation with the Novosibirsk Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, the Institute of Organic Chemistry, the Institute of Cytology and Genetics. These close scientific ties have been preserved to the present day.
