Conference Information
The A.V. Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, held the All-Russian Conference with international contributions “Lipid Biochemistry” on October 7–8, 2025, in Vladivostok.
The conference, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding biochemist Viktor Evgenievich Vaskovsky, brought together more than 150 scientists from different cities of Russia (Vladivostok, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Blagoveshchensk, Krasnoyarsk and others), as well as participants from the UK, Turkey and the Republic of Belarus. As part of the scientific program, 56 presentations were delivered: 17 oral reports, 14 remote presentations and 25 poster papers.
The plenary meeting was opened by the chair of the organizing committee Dr. Natalia Vladimirovna Zhukova and the director of the NSCMB FEB RAS Igor Yuryevich Dolmatov, Corr. Member of RAS. The director of the PIBOC FEB RAS Pavel Sergeyevich Dmitrenok, Corr. Member of the RAS, also gave a welcoming speech.
The conference program included the following sessions:
- History of lipid research and novel research methods;
- Lipids of aquatic organisms;
- Lipids of plants and fungi;
- Lipids and human health;
- Practical applications and lipid biotechnology.
On the first day, participants discussed the latest theoretical and applied results in lipid biochemistry.
A significant part of the scientific program consisted of presentations delivered by young scientists.
The second day was held at the Primorsky Aquarium Scientific and Educational Center, a branch of the NSCMB FEB RAS, where the participants not only continued presenting their scientific reports, but also visited the exhibitions and a marine mammal show.

Viktor Evgenievich Vaskovsky
October 2025 marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of Viktor Evgenievich Vaskovsky (1935–2016), an outstanding biochemist, Doctor of Biological Sciences, a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and an Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation. As the founder of lipid biochemistry research in the Far East, he established a scientific school at the Institute of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Scientific Center, USSR Academy of Sciences (currently the A.V. Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, NSCMB FEB RAS). His students have worked and continue to work not only in institutes and universities in Vladivostok and the Far Eastern region but also abroad. V.E. Vaskovsky's research in lipids was not limited to marine topics; it also covered higher plants, fungi, and various medical aspects of lipidology. He authored over 100 highly cited scientific papers and dozens of patents for inventions. Thanks to the research conducted by the Laboratory of Comparative Biochemistry, founded by V.E. Vaskovsky in 1972, the NSCMB FEB RAS is now one of the world's leading centers for the study of lipids in marine organisms.
