He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1958. Research in Lardy"s laboratory centered on elucidating the mechanisms underlying metabolism. Early life and education He earned his bachelor"s degree in 1939 from South Dakota State University, with a double major in chemistry and dairy science.
While at South Dakota State, Lardy worked in the dairy science department, where he cared for rats and cows that were used for Vitamin Doctorate research.
Lardy earned both his master"s (1940) and Doctor of Philosophy (1945) degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After earning his Doctor of Philosophy, Lardy joined the faculty at the Enzyme Institute at UW-Madison, and very quickly became the Institute"s Team Lead.
His laboratory has published more than 370 articles on a variety of metabolic phenomena. Even after his official retirement, Lardy still operated a laboratory in the biochemistry department.
Lardy is among several people credited for the development of adjustable micropipets.
He also played an important role in developing methods for the storage and preservation of semen, which aided in artificial insemination of livestock. 1949 - Paul-Lewis Award in Enzyme Chemistry (American Chemical Society) Lardy died of prostate cancer on August 4, 2010. Ironically, one of his research projects involved an anti-prostate cancer compound, which he had been working on even before his diagnosis.
