He worked under the supervision ofSergei Chetverikov.He was a corresponding member of the Division of Biological Sciences from 1946 and academician of the Division of General Biology from 1966. In 1946, Dubinin published a paper on the achievements of Soviet geneticists, in the journalScience.[2][3]

He was a founding member of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics (IC&G) in theRussian Academy of Sciences.During the two years of his directorship (1957–1959) Dubinin worked out research goals at the IC&G and assembled its early staff.

In 1982, Dubinin andDmitry Belyayevstudied the genetic basis of human individuality in different populations. In 1983, they worked with V.I.
