Professor Liliana Lubińska has been working in the Nencki Institute since 1933. In 1946 she has founded together with Professor Jerzy Konorski the Department of Neurophysiology in the Institute. Liliana Lubińska devoted practically her whole life to studies on peripheral nervous system with the main aim to elucidate the mechanism of functioning of the neuron with its small cell body and long axon. She has studied thus the events taking place during regeneration and Wallerian degeneration as well as the mechanisms of axonal transport. She has used simple methods elaborated and tested in every detail. In the late fi fties Professor Liliana Lubińska encouraged Professor Stella Niemierko – the biochemist, to begin joint studies on transport of some compounds along axons. The joint work on this project as well as concomitantly carried on studies with Professor Jirina Zelena, brought to a formulation of basic, largely citated and referred to, hypothesis of bidirectional movement of axoplasm. Liliana Lubińska was an outstanding scientist with strong personality and with very brought knowledge of neurobiological phenomena and a unique intellectual capacity for posing and solving scientifi c problems. She has been the author of several original papers and reviews of fundamental signifi cance, still frequently quoted in world literature. They had a great impact on neurobiology, infl uenced the research of many scientists and triggered a new line of experiments.
