“...A person lives as long as he is remembered…”

Nikolai Sergeevich Borisov began working at JINR in 1966, after graduating from Moscow State University. During his time at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, Nikolai Sergeevich became a highly qualified word-class scientific researcher, capable of independently solving complex scientific-methodological and technical tasks in the field of developing and creating state-of-the-art nuclear research equipment – polarized proton and deuteron targets of "frozen" type.
