Albert Szent-Györgyi Imre (1893-1986), a Hungarian-born biochemist, was the first to isolate vitamin C, and research on biological oxidation provided the basis for the Krebs citric acid cycle. His discoveries about the biochemical nature of muscular contraction has revolutionized the field of muscle research. His later career was devoted to the search for "submolecular" biology, quantum physics that applies to biological processes. He was particularly interested in cancer, and was among the first to explore the relationship between free radical damage and cancer.
