Fora period, he was a member of the Plants and Soils Committee of the Agricultural Research Council, and was a member of the Blackman Committee which reported on research and related matters for the natural-rubber industry. His work for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (D.S.I.R., later the Science Research Council) was of special importance here, he served on the Studentships Committee and as Chairman of the Chemistry Sub-Committee, and, during 1950-1955, he served as Chairman of the Chemistry Research Board. For several years, he acted as D.S.I.R. visitor to the Jute Industries Research Association, Dundee, and he was for a time a member of the Forest Products Research Board. 

The mission of this institute is basic biomedical research, and it provides an environment for individuals to carry out independent research in this area. Our primary support comes from government granting agencies — NIH, NSF, NASA. We have a total of 65 people, 25 Ph.D. s among them. The bulk of our research is X-ray crystallography.
