Dr. Ernest Beutler
(Sep. 30, 1928 – Oct. 5, 2008)
Dr. Ernest Beutler, who first identified the G6PD enzyme deficiency in 1953, the man who was most instrumental in establishing this Web site back in 1996, a giant among scientists and a most generous, gracious person, passed away on October 5. See obituaries in The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times. A more detailed biography on Wikipedia. To read some of his articles, turn to our list of Research Papers.
