About
William Parry Murphy was born February 6, 1892. An American physician, he worked alongside George Richards Minot and George Hoyt Whipple to devise a treatment for macrocytic anemia, particularly its pernicious form — a condition that had long eluded cure. Their combined research led to a breakthrough that turned fatal diagnosis into manageable illness. In 1934, the three shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the work. Murphy died October 9, 1987.
