## Bio

Richard Laurence Millington Synge was born on 28 October 1914 in Britain, entering a world where biochemists still fumbled in the dark trying to isolate complex molecules. Working alongside Archer Martin, he developed partition chromatography — a method that revolutionized how scientists separated and analyzed chemical compounds. The breakthrough earned them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1952, a recognition that their technique had become indispensable across labs worldwide. Synge continued his biochemical work for decades after, though the chromatography invention remained his defining contribution. He died on 18 August 1994, nearly eighty years old.
