Severo Ochoa de Albornoz (Spanish: [seˈβeɾo oˈtʃoa ðe alβoɾˈnoθ]; 24 September 1905 – 1 November

1993) was and joint winner of the 1959 Nobel Prize in

Physiology or Medicine with Arthur Kornberg. Ochoa was born father was Severo Manuel Ochoa, (who he was named after) , a lawyer and

businessman,and his mother was Carmen de Albornoz. Ochoa was the nephew

of Álvaro de Albornoz (President

of the Second Spanish Republic that was exiled, 1947–1951), and a cousin of the

poet and critic Aurora de Albornoz. His

father died when Ochoa was seven, and he and his mother moved to Málaga, where he attended elementary school through high

school. His interest in biology was stimulated by the publications of the

Spanish neurologist and Nobel laureate Santiago Ramón y Cajal. In

1923, he went to the University of Madrid Medical

School, where he hoped to work with Cajal, but Cajal retired. He studied with

father Pedro Arrupe, and Juan Negrín was his teacher.[

Negrín encouraged Ochoa[3] and another student, José Valdecasas,

to isolate creatinine from urine. The two

students succeeded and also developed a method to measure small levels of

muscle creatinine. Ochoa spent the summer of 1927 in Glasgow working with D.

Noel Paton on creatine metabolism improving his

English skills. During the summer he refined the assay procedure further and

upon returning to Spain he and Valdecasas submitted a paper describing the work

to the Journal of Biological Chemistry,

where it was rapidly accepted,[6] marking the beginning of Ochoa's

biochemistry career. Ochoa

completed his undergraduate medical degree in the summer of 1929 and developed

an interest in going abroad to gain further research experience. His previous

creatine and creatinine work led to an invitation to join Otto Meyerhof's laboratory at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for

Biology in Berlin-Dahlem in 1929. At that time the Institute was a "hot

bed" of the rapidly evolving discipline of biochemistry, and thus Ochoa

had the experience of meeting and interacting with scientists such as Otto

Warburg, Carl Neuberg, Einar Lundsgaard, and Fritz Lipmann in addition to

Meyerhof who had received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine less than

a decade earlier. In 1930 Ochoa returned to Madrid to complete research for his

MD thesis, which he defended that year. In 1931, a newly minted MD, he married

Carmen García Cobián, he did not have any children. He then began postdoctoral

study at the London National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), where he

worked with Henry Hallett Dale. His

London research involved the enzyme glyoxalase and was an important departure

in Ochoa's career in two respects. First, the work marked the beginning of

Ochoa's lifelong interest in enzymes. Second, the project was at the cutting

edge of the rapidly evolving study of intermediary metabolism.
