1914-1998 English Biophysicist and Physiologist Sir Alan Lloyd Hodgkin was an English biophysicist and physiologist who was awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Andrew Huxley (1917- ) for their pioneering research in the...

Sir Alan Lloyd Hodgkin, OM, KBE, FRS (born February 5, 1914, Banbury, Oxfordshire, England [1]; died December 20, 1998 Cambridge [2]) was a British physiologist and biophysicist, who won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work with...

ALAN HODGKIN was one of the leading experimental biologists of the middle years of this century. He achieved an almost complete understanding of excitation and conduction in nerve fibres at the level possible with the techniques available at that time. This paved the way...

Sir Alan Hodgkin, 84, the British physiologist who combined deep scientific intuition and stunning manual dexterity to explain how nerves transmit information and win a Nobel prize, died Dec. 20 at his home in Cambridge, England. The cause of death was not reported. ...
