Сергей Васильевич Шестаков, доктор биологических наук, академик РАН, лауреат Государственной премии СССР и Золотой медали имени Н. И. Вавилова РАН, заслуженный деятель науки Российской Федерации и заслуженный работник высшей школы Российской Федерации, является признанным специалистом в области геномики, молекулярной, радиационной и эволюционной генетики, генной инженерии микроорганизмов и растений. С. В. Шестаков внес значимый вклад в подготовку кадров и организацию науки, сыграл важную роль в восстановлении и развитии отечественной генетики: с 1980 г. заведовал кафедрой генетики Московского государственного университета имени М.В. Ломоносова (МГУ), где способствовал модернизации учебного процесса, привлекая новое поколение преподавателей и оснащая кафедру современным оборудованием, развивая новые научные направления; в 1988–1991 гг. возглавлял Институт общей генетики имени Н.И. Вавилова РАН (ИОГен), где разработал государственную программу «Приоритетные направления генетики», подготовил более 40 кандидатов и 5 докторов наук. От лица Вавиловского общества генетиков и селекционеров (ВОГиС) сердечно поздравляем Сергея Васильевича с юбилеем и желаем крепкого здоровья, дальнейших творческих успехов и развития возглавляемой им научной школы!</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article highlights several stages in the life, scientific achievements, and organizational activities of Academician Sergei Vasilievich Shestakov, full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) on the occasion of his 90th birthday. Sergei Vasilievich Shestakov, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the USSR State Prize and the N.I. Vavilov Gold Medal of the RAS, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, and Honored Worker of Higher Education of the Russian Federation, is a recognized expert in the fields of genomics, molecular, radiation genetics and evolutionary genetics, and genetic engineering of microorganisms and plants. S.V. Shestakov made a significant contribution to the training of researchers and organization of science, and played a key role in the restoration and development of genetics in Russia: since 1980, he has headed the Department of Genetics at Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), where he contributed to the modernization of the educational process, attracting a new generation of faculty, equipping the department with modern equipment, and developing new research areas; From 1988 to 1991, he headed the N.I. Vavilov Institute of General Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IOGen), where he developed the state program «Priority Areas of Genetics» and supervised over 40 PhD candidates and 5 doctors of science. On behalf of the Vavilov Society of Geneticists and Breeders (VOGiS), we congratulate Academician Sergei Vasilyevich Shestakov on his anniversary and wish him good health, continued creative success, and the development of the scientific school he leads!</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ВОГиС</kwd><kwd>биотехнология</kwd><kwd>генетика</kwd><kwd>геном прокариот</kwd><kwd>молекулярная биология</kwd><kwd>Московский государственный университет</kwd><kwd>научная школа</kwd><kwd>Российская академия наук</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>VOGiS</kwd><kwd>biotechnology</kwd><kwd>genetics</kwd><kwd>prokaryotic genome</kwd><kwd>molecular biology</kwd><kwd>Moscow State University</kwd><kwd>scientific school</kwd><kwd>Russian Academy of Sciences</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Академику Шестакову Сергею Васильевичу - 90 лет!
