Carl Ferdinand Cori
Carl Ferdinand Cori (Prag, 5. decembar1896. – Cambridge, Massachusetts, 20. oktobar1984.), češki biokemičar i farmakolog. Rođen je u Pragu[2][3], tada teritoriju Austrougarske Monarhije. Zajedno sa svojom suprugom Gerty Cori i argentinskim fiziologomBernardom Houssay, dobio je Nobelovu nagradu 1947. godine[4][5][6][7][8] za otkriće procesa razgradnje i ponovne sinteze glikogena i njegove uloge kao izvora i skladišta energije. Godine 2004. oboje su uvršteni u popis programa National Historic Chemical Landmarks kao priznanje njihovom istraživanju u spoznaji metabolizma ugljenih hidrata.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
Rani život i obrazovanje
[uredi | uredi kod]Carl je sin Carla Isidora Corija (1865.–1954.), zoologa i Marie née Lippich (1870.–1922.).[15] Odrastao je u Trstu, gdje je njegov otac radio kao direktor pomorske biološke stanice. U kasnoj 1914. familija Cori se seli u Prag i Carl se upisuje na medicinski fakultet Karlovog univerziteta u Pragu. Za vrijeme studija upoznaje Gerty Theresu Radnitz. Bio je ušao u Austro-ugarsku vojsku i služio u skijaškim odredima, ali kasnije je prebačen u sanitet, za što je osnova

The University of Alberta banner is flying at half-mast in remembrance of Neil Madsen, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry.
Dr. Neil B. Madsen, 89, of Victoria, BC, passed away peacefully March 22, 2017. He was a devoted husband, beloved father, scientist, Rotarian and outdoorsman. He was born February 8, 1928 in Grande Prairie, Alberta to Anders and Rose Madsen. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 46 years, Laura. Neil is survived by sisters Jean Stewart and Elizabeth Golosky; daughter Maureen; son Ian (Erica); grandchildren Olivia, Talia and Julian; stepsons Bill (Kitty), Jan (Ina), and Preston (Lynda), and step-grandchildren Jennifer, Dimitri (Kristina), Kirstin, Morgan, Nikolas and Hamishe.
Neil distinguished himself in the field of biochemistry at the University of Alberta. He was a great scholar of world-class stature. His legacy in science is well entrenched in the historical record. After graduating as Gold Medalist in his Agriculture class in 1950, Neil began his M.Sc. with the Biochemistry Department. He received his Ph.D. at Washington University in 1955, under Nobel Prize co-winners Carl and Gerty Cori. He subsequently did postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of another Nobel Prize winner, Hans Krebs, at Oxford. His life work was glycogen phosphorylas
