George Whipple



         


George Hoyt Whipple (August 28, 1878 - February 1, 1976) was one of three recipients in 1934 of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their work on liver therapy in cases of anemia. The other two recipients were George Richards Minot and William Parry Murphy.

Born in Ashland, New Hampshire, Whipple attended Andover Academy, Yale University, and Johns Hopkins University, where he got his M.D.

He was the first to describe Whipple's disease (named after him) and gave clues as to its cause (bacteria), in 1907.
