The personality of the scientist I. Athanasiu united the happy complementarity of an exceptional professor and researcher. If Professor I. Athanasiu perceived science by its past and transmitted it in a synthetized form to his contemporaries, the researcher I. Athanasiu was permanently interested in the future, in the following stages of scientific research. In his short life, Professor I. Athanasiu illustrated brilliantly both aspects of a scientist's personality. Adding these qualities to his vivid, nonalterated and discrete patriotism, shown honestly among foreigners in the major European countries as well as among Romanians and foreigners in his country, his worries for the future of his homeland, especially for its youth, we realise another aspect of I. Athanasiu's personality, that of a scientist and patriot. By his scientific research, I. Athanasiu surpassed the limits of medical-veterinary area, approaching with talent and efficiency its related fields: human medicine and animal biology.
科学家I. 阿萨纳西乌的性格融合了杰出教授与研究者令人愉悦的互补特质。如果说I. 阿萨纳西乌教授从科学的过往去认识它，并以综合的形式传递给同时代的人，那么研究者I. 阿萨纳西乌则始终对未来、对科学研究的后续阶段充满兴趣。在他短暂的一生中，I. 阿萨纳西乌教授出色地展现了科学家性格的两个方面。将这些特质与他鲜活、不变且内敛的爱国主义相结合，这种爱国主义在欧洲主要国家的外国人面前、在他本国的罗马尼亚人和外国人面前都真诚地展现出来，还有他对祖国未来的担忧，尤其是对祖国青年的担忧，我们认识到了I. 阿萨纳西乌性格的另一个方面，即科学家兼爱国者的一面。通过他的科学研究，I. 阿萨纳西乌超越了医学 - 兽医学领域的局限，以天赋和效率涉足其相关领域：人类医学和动物生物学。
