biochemist chemist university professor
Tiselius was born in Stockholm. Following the death of his father, the family moved to Gothenburg where he went to school, and after graduation at the local "Realgymnasium" in 1921, he studied at the University of Uppsala, specializing in chemistry.
Doctor philosophy, U. Upsala, 1931. Student Princeton, 1934-1935. Doctor honoris causa, university of Paris, Bologna, Glasgow, Madrid and Cambridge, Caroline Institute, Stockholm, U. Oxford, Oslo University, University Lyon, University of California, Berkeley, Gustavus Adolphus College.
Tiselius became a research assistant at Theodor Svedberg"s laboratory in 1925 and obtained his doctor"s degree in 1930 on the moving-boundary method of studying the electrophoresis of proteins. From then to 1935 he published a number of papers on diffusion and adsorption in naturally occurring base-exchanging zeolites, and these studies continued during a year"s visit to High School Taylor"s laboratory in Princeton with support of a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship. On his return to Uppsala he resumed his interest in proteins, and the application of physical methods to biochemical problems.
This led to a much-improved method of electrophoretic analysis which he refined in subsequent years.
Tiselius took an active part in the reorganization of scientific research in Sweden in the years following World World War II, and was President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry 1951-1955. He was Chairman of the Board for the Nobel Foundation 1960–1964.
Arne Tiselius has been listed as a noteworthy biochemist by Marquis Who's Who.
