Although
I never knew Gregorio that well, I came close to becoming one of his
students, in that he invited me to do my PhD with him. He lent me his
own PhD Thesis so that I could see the importance of the polarization
of fluorescence. But I had been very taken with hormones, and ended up
working on corticotrophin. There are few people now who could help tell
you about those days at King’s College or at the Cambridge Biochemistry
Department. One person who I can think knew him much better is Fred
Sanger. I am sorry that I cannot help more. Gregorio’s highly original
advance was most impressive. His early papers are to be found in the
bound copies of all papers from the Department.
