Abstract

Escaping from the chaotic environment of Germany before World War II, several scientists, some of whom were biochemists, took refuge in Turkey and made huge contributions in the preparations of new university reforms beginning in 1933. During this period, three wellknown biochemistry scholars, Werner Lipschitz, Felix Haurowitz and Zdenko Stary were accepted into the Biochemistry Institute of Istanbul University, and each one of these scientists became the head of this institute respectively. Being at the zenith of their careers, these three scientists spent their most prolific years in the Biochemistry Institute. The first biochemist taking charge of the reforms, Werner Lipschitz, established a fully equipped laboratory during his term in his own right and with the support of some officials. During his stint, he published several articles and a biochemistry book. However, Lipschitz had to challenge some difficulties such as learning Turkish and finding qualified Turkish assistants. Felix Haurowitz and Zdenko Stary, on the other hand, learnt Turkish in a short time and gave their lectures in Turkish. Conducting many studies, encouraging their Turkish assistants to involve in most of these studies and training them attentively, these academicians emphasized the importance of the graduate 'PhD' education and tried to give education to all of their assistants. They gave lectures in several fields, designed courses and attracted attention to the science of biochemistry. Besides, they published biochemistry books in Turkish. Thus, they made contributions to the development of scientific mentality in the field of biochemistry in Turkey.

Özet

1933 Üniversite Reformu sürecinde Almanya'nın II. Dünya Savaşı öncesindeki kaos ortamından kaçarak Türkiye'ye gelen bilim insanları arasında biyokimyacı akademisyenlerde vardı. Bu dönemde Türkiye'ye gelen üç biyokimya hocası İ.Ü. Tıp Fakültesi Biyokimya Enstitüsü'nde, peş peşe Enstitü Başkanı sıfatıyla görevilendirilen; Werner Lipschitz, Felix Haurowitz ve Zdenko Stary idi. Her üç biyokimya hocası da ülkemize gelirken bilimsel kariyerlerinin zirvesindeydiler ve en verimli çağlarını Biyokimya Enstitüsü'nde geçirdiler. Reformla birlikte gelen ilk biyokimyacı olan Ord. Prof. Dr. Werner Lipschitz kendi gayreti ve devletin desteğiyle, bir buçuk yılda, zamanına güre mükemmel denilebilecek laboratuarlar oluşturdu. Burada bulunduğu süre içinde bir çok makale ve bir biyokimya kitabı yazdı. Ancak Lipschitz Türkçe öğrenme ve Türk vatandaşı asistan bulma konularında sıkıntı yaşadı. Ord. Prof. Dr. Felix Haurowitz ve Zdenko Stary ise, çok kısa zamanda Türkçe öğrendiler ve derslerini Türkçe olarak verdiler. Yüzlerce bilimsel çalışma yaptılar, bu çalışmaların çoğuna Türk vatandaşı olan asistanlarını da ortak ettiler ve onları mükemmel şekilde yetiştirdiler. Doktora yapmanın önemine vurgu yaparak bütün asistanlarına Doktora yaptırmaya çalıştılar. Farklı yerlerde Biyokimya ile ilgili konferanslar verdiler, kurslar düzenlediler ve biyokimya bilimine dikkatleri çektiler. Ayrıca, Türkçe biyokimya kitapları yayınladılar ve ülkemizde biyokimya alanında gerçek bilim ve bilimsel çalışma zihniyetinin yerleştirilmesine katkı sağladılar.
