## Bio

Albert Imre Szent-Györgyi de Nagyrápolt was born in Hungary on September 16, 1893. His work in biochemistry led him to isolate vitamin C for the first time, a breakthrough that explained a disease that had puzzled medicine for centuries. He went on to discover many of the components and reactions of the citric acid cycle, the fundamental process by which cells generate energy. He also uncovered the molecular basis of muscle contraction. In 1937 he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He died on October 22, 1986.
