Jeffries Wyman (biologist)

Jeffries Wyman (June 21, 1901 – November 4, 1995) was an American molecular biologist and biophysicist notable for his research of proteins, amino acids, and on the physical chemistry of hemoglobin,[1][2][3][4][5] including the classic Monod-Wyman-Changeux model.

Wyman was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,[4] the first scientific advisor to the US Embassy in Paris,[3] director of a regional science office in the Middle East for UNESCO,[3] a founder and past secretary general of the European Molecular Biology Organization,[1] professor of biology at Harvard.[2] Harvard University established Jeffries Wyman Fellowship in his name.[3]
