Guillemin, Roger

Guillemin, Roger (p. 246) bom in Dijon, France, in 1924 studying medicine at the Univ. of Dijon, received his M.D. in 1949 and his Ph.D. at the Univ. of Montreal in 1952. There he became assistant professor and assistant director of the Institute for Experim. Medicine and Surgery (1951-53), then at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston Tex. until 1963. He is now Chairman of the Laboratories of Neuroendocrinology, Salk Institute, La Jolla, Cal. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology (shared with A. Schally) in 1977. [Pg.267]

This protocol for hormone characterization is deceptively simple. Hormones are extremely potent and are produced in very small amounts. Obtaining sufficient hormone to allow its chemical characterization often involves biochemical isolations on a heroic scale. When Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally independently purified and characterized thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus, Schally s group processed about 20 tons of hypothalamus from nearly two million sheep, and Guillemin s group extracted the...
