American Awarded Nobel Medical Prize
STOCKHOLM—(UPD)—The Nobel Prize for Medicine was won today by Harvard Prof. Konrad E. Bloch and German chemist Feodor Lynen for cholesterol discoveries that medical experts said could prolong man's life.
The Teachers' College of Sweden's Royal Caroline Institute discerned the award. It said the two professors were honored for their findings concerning the mechanism and regulation of the cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism.
PROF. LYNEN is a 53-year-old German. He is head of the Max Planck Institute for Cell Chemistry in Munich.
The two 1964 prize winners will share a cash award of $52,500. They were honored for research carried out independently into the mysteries of cholesterol—labeled the villain of heart disease by medical science.
The Institute's prize committee hailed the impact of their research on circulatory diseases which "are the foremost cause of death in many areas of the world." It said the battle against these diseases will rest upon the work of Bloch and Lynan.
Dr. Bloch, 52, is a naturalized American who was born in Germany. He did research and taught at Columbia University and the University of Chicago before becoming Higgins Professor of Biochemistry at Harvard University. His home is in Cambridge, Mass.
Bloch was the second American to be selected for a Nobel Prize in two days. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Negro civil rights leader, won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize yesterday.
THE PROFESSORS will receive their award here Dec. 10 from King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden.
In Harvard's Conant Laboratory students and teachers swarmed around Bloch, giving him hugs, kisses and handshakes.
BLOCH SAID he didn't know what he would do with his share of the prize money. He added that he
planned to continue his attempts to clarify the processes by which the substances such as cholesterol are produced by animal cells from precursors such as acetic acid.
