Home > List of biochemists

This list is not necessarily complete or up to date - if you see a biography that should be here but isn't (or one that shouldn't be here but is), please update the page accordingly. Note that the definition of biochemist is fairly loose here, and noted biological chemists, biophysists and others are included.

The format for each entry is:

• Name, (birth-death), Nationality, optional brief reason for fame - maybe including link.
