BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Cowdery Kendrew was born in Oxford on 24 March 1917. His parents were Evelyn Sandberg, an art historian and Wilfred George Kendrew, tutor of St. Catherine’s and Reader in Climatology at Oxford University. Kendrew was educated at the Dragon School, Oxford (1923-1930) and at Clifton College, Bristol (1930-1936). He went to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1936. His main subject was Chemistry. As an undergraduate Kendrew displayed an interest in many branches of science and also developed an interest in radio while in the Cambridge OTC (Officer Training Corps). In June 1939 he graduated Physical Chemistry. In December 1939 he was appointed Junior Scientific Officer at the Air Ministry and from 1940 worked on operational research with special reference to anti-submarine warfare, Lawrence Bragg. In October 1947 the Medical Research Council formed the two researchers into the Unit for the Study of the Molecular Structure of Biological Systems. This unit was the origin of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Long and arduous work with sperm-whale myoglobin eventually Command and South East Asia Command where he held the honorary rank of Wing Commander. bombing accuracy and radio aids. Most of his war service was spent abroad in the Middle East In 1946 Kendrew returned to Cambridge. He began a collaboration on the X-ray crystallographic succeeded in producing a three-dimensional model at various Angstrém levels and was rewarded with first class honours in chemistry and began research in reaction kinetics in the Department of analysis of protein structures with M.F. Perutz at the Cavendish Laboratory under the direction of Sir of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) at Heidelberg, West Germany, 1975-1982. In with scientific matters in the wider world. From the early 1960s he was involved at all stages in the development of the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) and was first Director General Peterhouse, where he was Director of Studies for many years. He also became increasingly involved when he shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Perutz (who had continued work on haemoglobin) Alongside the laboratory work, Kendrew maintained links with university life as a Fellow of in 1962. He had already been elected FRS in 1960. J.C.
