Abstract
This essay describes the life path of Professor Elena Pavlovna Yakovleva, a Doctor of Biological Sciences, who headed the Biotechnology Department at the Saint Petersburg Chemical Pharmaceutical Academy from 1993 to 2013. Elena Pavlovna is the author of over 30 inventions, more than 180 publications in leading Russian and international scientific journals, a co-author of the monograph “Regulation of the biosynthesis of biologically active substances,” and the textbook “Biotechnology.” E. P. Yakovleva’s works have been recognized with bronze awards from VDNKh of the USSR. In 2006, Elena Pavlovna Yakovleva was included in the list of top biotechnology experts published in the USA by Marquis Who’s Who magazine. Elena Pavlovna Yakovleva worked at the Saint Petersburg Chemical Pharmaceutical Academy until she was 80 years old. She was a talented scientist, valued and respected by her university colleagues, possessed a gentle character, high intellect, caring attitude towards staff and students, always showed interest in people’s problems, and endeavored to help anyone in need of her support. We would like to express our special gratitude to Maxim Evgenievich Yakovlev, Elena Pavlovna’s grandson, as well as her son and daughter-in-law, for their help in summarizing archival materials provided from the family archive.
