George Whipple

George Hoyt Whipple (1878 to 1976) was an American physician, pathologist, biomedical researcher and medical school educator and administrator who shared the 1934 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with George Richards Minot and William Parry Murphy for their discoveries concerning liver therapy in cases of anemia. Born in Ashland, New Hampshire, he was raised by his mother and grandmother after his father died when he was just shy of two years old, attended Andover prep school and then Yale University, and earned an A.B. degree in 1900. His Nobel Prize made him the first of several Nobel laureates affiliated with the University of Rochester.
