Albert Szent-Györgyi
1893-1986
Albert Szent-Györgyi did exactly what only
a very few were able to do: he success-
fully lived through more than two-thirds
of this century covering an era, in which
the human race displayed perseverance
in self-destruction through meaningless
wars.
As a young professor of biochemistry at
the Szeged University and a few years
later in the pre-war period as the Rector
of the Szeged Medical University, he mag-
ically transformed his Institute of Medical
Chemistry with great vision into an inter-
national “open laboratory”, an intellectual
meeting place, where the free flow of ide-
as, the enthusiasm of his associates and
his students assured that science would
leap forward in huge steps.
He really made some big catches in his
lifetime: the Nobel-Prize for discovering
the vitamin-C and the biochemical steps
of catalysis of the fumaric acid in the tri-
carboxylic acid cycle.
“Science has opened endless possibilities for expansion if we
work together instead of snatching small advantages from
one another. Science has helped us to understand and master
ourselves, creating an elevated new form of human life, the
wealth and beauty of which cannot be pictured today by the
keenest imagination”.
“Lost in the 20th Century” Albert Szent-Györgyi, Annual Review of Biochemistry, 32, 1963
