He became an assistant professor in 1947 and a professor of biochemistry in 1953, and from 1954 he directed the Max Planck Institute for Cellular Chemistry in Munich, a post created for him at the urging of Otto Warburg and Otto Hahn. In 1972 that institute was merged into the new Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry. In 1964 he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine together with Konrad Bloch for discoveries concerning the mechanism and regulation of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism.
