Department of Biochemistry at the Armenian Branch of Chemical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences; |
| |
|
| 1950 |
Till 1950 these departments were the main centers of biochemical investigations in Armenia.
The problems were developed in two directions: influence of purine and protein compounds on the stability of vitamin “C”; effects of colamine, choline and acetylcholine in oxidation of unsaturated lipids, vitamin “A” and carotenes. Experts in these fields were Profs. H. Iohannessian, V. Kamentsev, and H. Ch. Buniatian; |

|
| 1950 |
Department of Biochemistry at the Institute of Physiology; |
| |
|
| 1958 |
Department of Biochemistry at the Institute of Physiology in
1958 became a separate Research Sector of Biochemistry at the Academy of Sciences of Armenian SSR (chaired by Prof. H. Ch. Buniatian); |

Department of Biochemistry at Yerevan State University; |
| |
|
| 1961 |
Laboratory of Biochemistry at Agricultural Institute; |
| |
|
| 1961 |
Institute of Biochemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR was founded, evolving the Sector of Biochemistry; |
| |
|
| 1982 |
Institute of Biochemistry was renamed as H. Buniatian Institute of Biochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia; |
| |
|
| 1947-1957 |
Society, which united physiologists, biochemists and pharmacologists in Armenia; |
| |
|
| 1958 |
Armenian Biochemical Society established by the resolution of the Academy of
Sciences of Armenian SSR. An important achievement at that period was the annual
Issue “Problems of Brain Biochemistry” (Editor-in-chief H. Ch. Buniatian).
The following periodicals were founded: Biological Journal of Armenia, Proceedings of the Natl. Acad. Sci. of RA, Neirokhimiya, Medical Science of Armenia;
|
| |
|
| 1964 |
The Armenian Biochemical Society, a branch of the All-Union Biochemical Society
of USSR was headed by Academician, Prof. Hrachia Ch. Buniatian. The Society
actively supported Armenian scientists in biochemical studies, helped to develop
scientific career, disseminated knowledge and latest achievements via lectureships,
meetings and workshops, promoted participation in international meetings and programs, encouraged collaboration in the fields of basic and clinical biochemistry. |

|
| 1964-1981 |
H. Buniatian, the first president of the Armenian Biochemical Society had an
enormous input into the development of Biochemistry and Neurochemistry in
Armenia. Member of the German Academy of Naturalists, Council of the
International Society for Neurochemistry, IBRO, Biochemical Society of the USSR,
he was also a member of number of editorial boards, including J. Neurochemistry.
The generation of scientists, raised and trained at Buniatian’s School, became famous
biochemists in Armenia and abroad; |
| |
|
| Since 1981 |
Academician, Prof. Armen Galoyan has been elected as a President of the Armenian Biochemical Society; |
| |
|
| 2002 |
The Armenian Biochemical Society was renamed into the Armenian Association of Biochemists (AAB) and registered in Enterprises State Register of the Republic of Armenian as a non-governmental and non-profit organization; |
| |
|
| 2002 |
The AAB became an Associate member of the Federation of European Biochemical
Societies (FEBS); |
| |
|
2008
2010 |
The AAB has been accepted as a Constituent member of the FEBS at the 48th FEBS Council Meeting held on July 3and 4, 2008 in Athens, Greece.
The AAB became a member (associate adhering body) of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). Read the welcoming letter of the president of IUBMB Angelo Azzi here. |
