Melville Wolfrom

Following the German pattern, carbohydrate chemistry spread and became firmly established in North America through the impact of a key figure — in this case Hudson, and his many CO workers. Two of these colleagues are particularly worthy of note Horace Isbell (1898-1992), who worked with Hudson at the National Bureau of Standards, and Melville Wolfrom (1900-1969), who also trained with Hudson and succeeded him as a major figure in carbohydrate chemistry in the U.S. during his tenure as Professor of Chemistry (The Ohio State University from 1940 until his death).
