George Minot
George Richards Minot ( born December 2, 1885 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, † February 25, 1950 ) was an American internist. He shared in 1934 with William Parry Murphy and George Hoyt Whipple Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their research on the pernicious anemia. The researchers had found a way to cure these previously inevitably fatal disease caused by a diet of liver. ( Only much later the " antiperniziöse factor " was identified in the liver tissue as vitamin B12. )
Minot, scion of a long dynasty of doctors, received his doctorate in 1912 in Boston and was until 1915 at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, then again worked in Boston at Harvard Medical School.
