| biography:
| Biochemist, born in London, UK. He studied at Cambridge, and worked for the Wool Industry Research Association in Leeds (1938–46), the Medical Research Council (1948–59), the Abbotsbury Laboratories (1959–70), and the Wellcome Research Laboratories (1970–3). He later held university appointments at Sussex, Houston, and Lausanne. His work on nutrition led him to the study of protein structure, and the development of partition chromatography to separate and analyse proteins, for which he shared the 1952 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with his colleague, Richard Synge. From 1953 he worked on gas-liquid chromatography as another analytical technique. |
