International Union Of Biochemistry And Molecular Biology
The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) is an international non-governmental organisation concerned with biochemistry and molecular biology. Formed in 1955 as the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB), the union has presently 79 member countries and regions (as of 2020).IUBMB: the first half-century. /ref> The Union is devoted to promoting research and education in biochemistry and molecular biology throughout the world, and gives particular attention to localities where the subject is still in its early development.

Biotechnology And Applied Biochemistry
''Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry'' is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering biotechnology applied to medicine, veterinary medicine, and diagnostics. Topics covered include the expression, extraction, purification, formulation, stability, and characterization of both natural and recombinant biological molecules. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The editors-in-chief are Gianfranco Gilardi ( University of Torino) and Jian-Jiang Zhong (Shanghai Jiao Tong University). History The journal was established in 1979 under the title ''Journal of Applied Biochemistry'' by Academic Press, obtaining its present title in 1986. Former editors-in-chief include Peter Campbell (University College London; before 1996), Roger Lundblad (formerly of Baxter Biotech, Duarte, California; 1996–2002), and Parviz A. Shamlou (Eli Lilly; 2003–2012). Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and ind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Feodor Lynen
Feodor Felix Konrad Lynen (; 6 April 1911 – 6 August 1979) was a German biochemist. In 1964 he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine together with Konrad Bloch for their discoveries concerning the mechanism and regulation of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism while he was director of the Max-Planck Institute for Cellular Chemistry in Munich. Biography Feodor Lynen was born in Munich on 6 April 1911. His parents were Wilhelm Lynen, who taught mechanical engineering, and Frieda née Prym, whose father was an industrialist. He started his studies at the chemistry department of Munich University in 1930 and graduated in March 1937 under Heinrich Wieland with the work: "On the Toxic Substances in Amanita". Lynen remained in Germany throughout World War II. In 1942 he became a chemistry lecturer at the Munich University. In 1947 he became an assistant professor and in 1953 a professor of biochemistry. From 1954 onwards he was director of the Max-Planck Institute for Cellu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marianne Grunberg-Manago
Marianne Grunberg-Manago (January 6, 1921 – January 3, 2013) was a Soviet-born French biochemist. Her work helped make possible key discoveries about the nature of the genetic code. Grunberg-Manago was the first woman to lead the International Union of Biochemistry and the 400-year-old French Academy of Sciences. Early life Grunberg-Manago was born into a family of artists who adhered to the teachings of the Swiss educational reformer Johann Pestalozzi. When she was 9 months old, her parents emigrated from the Soviet Union to France. Education and Research Grunberg-Manago studied biochemistry and, in 1955, while working in the lab of Spanish-American biochemist Severo Ochoa, she discovered the first nucleic-acid-synthesizing enzyme. Initially, everyone thought the new enzyme was an RNA polymerase used by ''E. coli'' cells to make long chains of RNA from separate nucleotides. Although the new enzyme could link a few nucleotides together, the reaction was highly reversible and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Edward Slater
Edward Charles Slater (16 January 1917 – 26 March 2016), also known as Bill Slater, was an Australian biochemist who spent most of his career at the University of Amsterdam. Early life and education Slater was raised in Australia. He received a training in biochemistry at the Ormond College of the University of Melbourne. In 1946, he moved to Cambridge, where he earned his PhD under the supervision of David Keilin. Career In 1955, Slater joined the medical faculty of the University of Amsterdam, where he remained until retiring in 1985. He is recognised for his contributions to the development of Dutch biochemistry. Slater managed the journal ''Biochimica et Biophysica Acta'', turning it into one of the most influential publications in the field. He wrote a history of the journal, ''Biochimica et biophysica acta: the story of a biochemical journal'', which was published in 1986. He served as the president of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biolog ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hans Kornberg
Sir Hans Leo Kornberg, FRS (14 January 1928 – 16 December 2019) was a British-American biochemist. He was Sir William Dunn Professor of Biochemistry in the University of Cambridge from 1975 to 1995, and Master of Christ's College, Cambridge from 1982 to 1995. Early life and education Kornberg was born in 1928 in Germany to Jewish parents, Max Kornberg (1889–1943) and Margarete (née Silberbach, 1890-1928), who died three weeks after his birth. In 1939, his father and stepmother Selma (née Nathan; 1886–1943) got him out of Nazi Germany (though they could not follow), first to an uncle in Amsterdam and eventually to the care of an uncle in Yorkshire. A few years later, his father and stepmother were murdered in the Holocaust. Initially he went to a school for German refugees, but later to Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Wakefield. On leaving school he became a junior laboratory technician for Hans Adolf Krebs at the University of Sheffield who encouraged him to stud ...

Andrew H
Andrew is the English form of the given name, common in many countries. The word is derived from the , ''Andreas'', itself related to ''aner/andros'', "man" (as opposed to "woman"), thus meaning "manly" and, as consequence, "brave", "strong", "courageous", and "warrior".
