Sir Edward Penley Abraham, CBE, FRS (10 June 1913 – 8 May 1999) was an English biochemist instrumental in the development of penicillin.〔(National Archives: Papers of Edward Penley Abraham )〕 ==Life== Abraham was born in Shirley, Southampton, and attended King Edward VI School, Southampton, before achieving a First in Chemistry at The Queen's College, Oxford. After completing his DPhil at the University of Oxford, Abraham took up a position at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology. He became part of a research team led by Professor Howard Florey responsible for the development of penicillin and its medical applications. Sir Edward was specifically involved in the purification process and determination of its chemical structure. Florey formally recognised Abraham’s work in 1948 by nominating him to be one of the first three “penicillin” research Fellows at Lincoln College, Oxford. He was a Fellow of Lincoln until his retirement in 1980. He died in May 1999, in Oxford, following a stroke. He was survived by his wife, Asbjörg. Sir Edward and Lady Abraham lived at Badgers Wood, Bedwells Heath, Boars Hill, where part of the land, ''Abraham Wood'' is now managed by the Oxford Preservation Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxfordpreservation.org.uk/land/abrahamwood.php )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Abraham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
