Professor Eugen Cerkovnikov, PhD (Kamenska, Russia, 1904- Rijeka, Croatia 1985) graduated in chemical technology from the Faculty of Engineering in Zagreb in 1929. His first job was at the School of Medicine in Paris in 1930, and then he moved to Zagreb to the Department of Organic Chemistry of the Faculty of Engineering run by our Nobel Prize winner Vladimir Prelog (1935-1938). There he took his PhD degree with a dissertation on piperidine gamma derivatives. From 1938 to 1947 he was a research associate at an institute established by the pharmaceutical company Kastel (later Pliva). This is when he became a lecturer at the Faculty of Pharmacy in Zagreb and the first director of the Institute of Organic Chemistry, established in 1946/47. In 1948 he became reader, and in 1956 (full) professor. In 1957 he moved to the newly established School of Medicine in Rijeka, and set up the Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He ran the Institute until retirement in 1975. He was the second dean of the Rijeka University School of Medicine and a pioneer of quantum chemistry and medical cybernetics in undergraduate and (post)graduate courses. His scientific work consists of over 200 papers published at home and abroad, 60 professional papers, 20 book reviews, three works of translation, and 27 volumes of lecture notes. In 1958, professor Cerkovnikov established the Croatian Chemical Society and the Rijeka and Istria branches of the nation's Association of Chemists and Chemical Engineers, chairing them until 1974. In addition, he was one of the founding fathers, and the first chair of the Health Culture Studies Association in Rijeka (that preceded today's Croatian Scientific Society for the History of Health Culture), established in 1965.
叶夫根·切尔科夫尼科夫教授，博士（1904年生于俄罗斯卡梅斯卡，1985年卒于克罗地亚里耶卡）于1929年在萨格勒布工程学院化学技术专业毕业。他的第一份工作是1930年在巴黎医学院，之后他前往萨格勒布，进入由我们的诺贝尔奖获得者弗拉基米尔·普雷洛格主持的工程学院有机化学系（1935 - 1938年）。在那里，他以一篇关于哌啶γ衍生物的论文获得博士学位。1938年至1947年，他是制药公司卡斯特尔（后来的普利瓦）设立的研究所的研究助理。在此期间，他成为萨格勒布药学院的讲师，并于1946/47年成为有机化学研究所的第一任所长。1948年他成为高级讲师，1956年成为（正）教授。1957年，他前往新成立的里耶卡医学院，建立了化学与生物化学研究所。他一直管理该研究所直至1975年退休。他是里耶卡大学医学院的第二任院长，也是本科和研究生课程中量子化学和医学控制论的先驱。他的科研成果包括在国内外发表的200多篇论文、60篇专业论文、20篇书评、三部翻译作品以及27卷讲义。1958年，切尔科夫尼科夫教授成立了克罗地亚化学学会以及该国化学家和化学工程师协会的里耶卡和伊斯特拉分会，并一直担任主席至1974年。此外，他还是1965年成立的里耶卡健康文化研究协会（即如今克罗地亚健康文化史科学学会的前身）的创始人之一和首任主席。
