Bent Formby
Bent Formby is a biochemist and researcher. He was born in Copenhagen, and came to the U.S. as a visiting professor in 1979. He co-authored two books and several articles on endocrinology with T. S. Wiley. Background Formby began his career at the Sansum Medical Research Institute in the early 1980s, where he concentrated on biochemical models of insulin resistance in diabetes, and also looked at hormone receptors in cancer animal models. His work in diabetes covered receptor sites for specific insulin molecules, and in cancer research, he was involved with some of initial research in estrogen-receptor hormones, which led the way for the use of specific types of therapies such as Tamoxifen. He is considered one of the world's authorities on environmental aspects as they relate to hormone reactions.

Biochemist Biochemists are scientists who are trained in biochemistry. They study chemical processes and chemical transformations in living organisms. Biochemists study DNA, proteins and cell parts. The word "biochemist" is a portmanteau of "biological chemist." Biochemists also research how certain chemical reactions happen in cells and tissues and observe and record the effects of products in food additives and medicines. Biochemist researchers focus on playing and constructing research experiments, mainly for developing new products, updating existing products and analyzing said products. It is also the responsibility of a biochemist to present their research findings and create grant proposals to obtain funds for future research. Biochemists study aspects of the immune system, the expressions of genes, isolating, analyzing, and synthesizing different products, mutations that lead to cancers, and manage laboratory teams and monitor laboratory work. Biochemists also have to have the c ... [...More Info...] |
