American pharmacologist and physiologist born in Burlingame, Kansas, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1971) for works with the mechanisms of hormones and demonstrates the development of numerous metabolic processes that occur in animals. Graduated from Washburn College, Topeka, Kan. (1937), was Assistant in Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Washington University (1940-1942), received the Washington University Medical School, St. Louis, Mo. (1942), where he was Interneship, Barnes Hospital (1942). After serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, he joined the School of Medicine, Washington University, where he was an Instructor in Pharmacology (1945-46), Instructor in Biochemistry (1946-1950), Assistant Professor of Biochemistry (1950-1952) and Associate Professor of Biochemistry (1952-1953) He became (1953) director of the Western Reserve University department of medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, where he discovered the AMP cycle (1956) or cycle of monophosphatic adenosine.
Ten years later, he took over as professor of physiology at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. (1963), and he became (1973) a faculty member at the University of Miami Medical School, where he remained until his death in Miami, Florida. He devoted himself fully to research on the study of hormones, which led him to the discovery that they control the functioning of the body by regulating the level of a substance called cyclic AMP which in turn controls the cellular activity of each organ. With the work that won him the Nobel, he also won the Lasker prize (1970).
