Albert Szent-Györgyi (1893 to 1986) was a Hungarian biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. He is credited with first isolating vitamin C and with discovering many of the components and reactions of the citric acid cycle and the molecular basis of muscle contraction. Born in Budapest, he worked at the University of Groningen, received his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1929 as a Rockefeller Foundation fellow, took a position at the University of Szeged in 1930, and in 1947 founded the Institute for Muscle Research at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
