In the memory of professor Rinat Ibragimov – to the 65th anniversary from birthday
The article is dedicated to the memory of Rinat Ismagilovich Ibragimov (1956–2018), doctor Grand PhD in Biological Sciences, Professor of Bashkir State University (BashSU). For 12 years, R.I. Ibragimov was a Dean of the Faculty of Biology, for a long time he headed the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology. He was a talented scientist, teacher and leader, the organizer of major scientific events at the Faculty of Biology of BashSU. Scientific researches of Ibragimov R.I. were devoted to the study of molecular mechanisms of interaction of plants with phytophagous and pathogens. He obtained priority data on the biochemical characteristics of insect pests in the agroecosystems of the Republic of Bashkortostan, studied varietal characteristics of cultivated plants due to their resistance to pests. Laboratory methods for determining the activity of enzymes, methods of digital data processing in experiments on the quantitative determination of the activity of hydrolases and their inhibitors has been developed. Followers of Professor R.I. Ibragimov continue the development of his scientific ideas. In September 2020, the III Russian Conference "Modern Problems of Biochemistry, Genetics and Biotechnology" dedicated to the memory of Professor Ibragimov R.I. is scheduled to be held at Bashkir State University in Ufa.
