bio: |
  Konrad Emil Bloch was born in Germany on 21 January 1912 and later became a biochemist working in the United States. He spent years tracing the pathways by which cells synthesize cholesterol and fatty acids, decoding the regulation that keeps those processes running. In 1964 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Feodor Lynen for those discoveries. He died on 15 October 2000.
