Liliana Lubinska ( Polish: Liliana Lubińska ); (October 14, 1904 - November 19, 1990) - A Polish scientist, a neurologist, is known for his studies of the peripheral nervous system and the discovery of bidirectional axon transport . [1] [2] Lubinsky and her husband Jerzy Konorski founded the Department of Neurophysiology at the Institute of Experimental Biology named after M. Nentsky in 1946. [3]

Early life and education
Lubinsky was born in Lodz in 1904. She married Jerzy Konorsky , her neurologist colleague. [4] Entered the University of Warsaw to study biology in 1923, but a year later transferred to the University of Paris to continue her research in the field of the same biology. In 1927, Lubinsky received a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and physiology [2] , as well as a doctorate in 1932. While working on her doctoral dissertation, Lubinsky worked with Louis and Marcel Lapik in their physiology laboratory, studying chronaxy and reflexes . [1] Her doctoral dissertation was devoted to non-iterative reflexes, and as a result, she received an award from the Academy of Paris for her. [2]
Career and Research
After writing a thesis in Paris, Lubinsky began her independent research on the effects of various agents on the excitability of a neuromuscular drug. She took part in the experiments of Jerzy Konorsky and Stefan Miller on conditioned reflexes at the Institute of Experimental Biology. Nentsky in Warsaw . When the World War began in 1939, it was forced to flee, since the institute was destroyed after the bombing. Lubinsky and Konorsky desperately tried to cross the northern border in order to eventually connect with Konorsky's brother, who was in England. However, strict border controls forced them to stay in Bialystok. Soon the Axis powers occupied the entire eastern part of Poland, including Bialystok, forcing the couple to flee to the Caucasus . [5] There, they worked on the regeneration of peripheral nerves at the Georgian Institute of Experimental Medicine in Sukhum in the 1940-1945s.
After the war, Lubinsky continued to research in the field of the peripheral nervous system. From 1945 until her retirement in 1982, she studied neural structure and physiology , and in particular axon transport , and showed that it can be bidirectional. [6] During her career, she published about 80 scientific articles and was one of the foremost researchers in her field. [one]
