HierBestellen.nl Selman Abraham Waksman De Russisch/Amerikaanse microbioloog Selman Abraham Waksman (1888-1973) werd geboren in Priluka bij Kiev. Selman Waksman volgde in zijn jeugd voornamelijk privélessen. In Odessa volgde hij bovendien avondklassen. Hij behaalde zijn gymnasiumdiploma in Rusland en emigreerde korte tijd later naar de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Vanaf 1911 studeerde Selman Waksman dankzij een beurs aan het Rutgers College te New Brunswick, Massachusetts (VS). In 1915 studeerde hij af in de studierichting landbouw. Na zijn studie kreeg Selman Waksman een aanstelling als onderzoeksassistent bij Dr. J.G. Lipman aan het New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. Nadat hij tot Amerikaan was genaturaliseerd, kon hij zijn studie afmaken aan de Universiteit van California, waar hij biochemie studeerde. Op verzoek van Lipman ging Selman Waksman terug naar de Rutger Universiteit, waar hij in 1930 professor werd in de microbiologie. In 1949 werd hij directeur van het Instituut voor Microbiologie. Hij vervulde deze functie tot zijn pensioen in 1958. Selman Waksman werd vooral bekend door zijn studie van de antibiose. Selman Waksman was de ontdekker van streptomycine. Streptomycine werd door Selman Waksman aan het begin van de jaren veertig ontdekt en werd veel gebruikt in de geneeskunde. Het was een van de eerste effectieve middelen in de strijd tegen tuberculose. Later werd streptomycine wegens de ongewenste bijwerkingen (doofheid en soms blindheid) voor inwendige therapie vervangen door dihydrostreptomycine.

Waksman, Selman (Abraham) Medicine Biographies: Biochemist, born in Priluka, Ukraine. He became a US citizen in 1916, and studied at Rutgers University, where he ultimately became professor of soil microbiology in 1930. His research into the breaking down of organic substances by micro-organisms and into antibiotics led to his discovery of streptomycin (1943), for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1952. Selman Abraham Waksman (1888 - 1973) Selman Abraham Waksman was born in Priluka, near Kiev, Russia, on July 22nd, 1888, as the son of Jacob Waksman and Fradia London. He received his early education primarily from private tutors, and completed his school training in Odessa in an evening school and with private tutors. He obtained his matriculation diploma in 1910 from the Fifth Gymnasium in Odessa as an extern, and left for the United States immediately afterwards. In the autumn of 1911 he entered Rutgers College, having won a State Scholarship the previous spring. He received his B.Sc. degree in Agriculture from Rutgers in 1915. He was then appointed research assistant in soil bacteriology under Dr. J. G. Lipman at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, and was allowed to continue graduate work at Rutgers, obtaining his M.Sc. degree in 1916. In the same year, he became a naturalized United States citizen and was appointed a Research Fellow at the University of California where he received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 1918. He was invited by Dr. Lipman to return to Rutgers, where he received an appointment as microbiologist at the Experiment Station and as Lecturer in Soil Microbiology at the University. He was appointed Associate Professor in 1925 and Professor in 1930. When the Department of Microbiology was organized in 1940, he became Professor of Microbiology and Head of the Department. In 1949, he was appointed Director of the Institute of Microbiology. He retired in 1958. However, he has a laboratory and office at the Institute to continue a limited amount of research and considerable writing and lecturing.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Photo by Tarza Studio, New Brunswick, New Jersey Selman Abraham Waksman By Rollin D. Hotchkiss M Selman Abraham Waksman was born and raised in the rural Ukrainian town of Novaya Priluka. Remaining in that remote town on the steppes until age 20, he certainly could not have dreamed of the triumphs and obstacles that lay ahead. His father made a modest living tending and renting some small houses he owned. His mother was a capable manager of her own dry goods business, developed while the father was away on years of military service. The youngest of eight intelligent and pious sisters, she energetically strove to lead a rational and useful life in the fine Jewish tradition. Starting with an impressive and accomplished grandmother, this matriarchy was clearly proud of the stirring ambitions of young Selman. As an only surviving child, he was loved and supported in his tendency to outdo, rather than rebel against, the standards of his community. Probably their backing was responsible for the easy, confident way he approached personal relationships and decisions later in his career. Intellectual stimulation of a general sort there was; Waksman for some years studied the Bible and Talmud and the history of the pious Jewish people and their enthusiasm for learning. From the age of 10 he was continually involved in tutoring other less able students in their academic weak spots. Simultaneously he availed himself of tutors to speed his own advance. His autobiography (Waksman, 1954) gives us a proud and nostalgic recollection of the influences in his youth that moved him toward a career in the study of life processes. The rich black soil of his native town and the surrounding villages supported a teeming agricultural life that he could not have missed. He may not have done much practical work in it, but he was perceptive in developing an early, incompletely formulated curiosity about such chemistry as goes on in the fertile soil.
