Extractions: British chemist who was corecipient, with Vladimir Prelog, of the 1975 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his research on the stereochemistry of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Stereochemistry is the study of how the properties of a chemical compound are affected by the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules and complexes. Cornforth suffered since childhood from a progressive hearing loss which later rendered him completely deaf. He graduated from the University of Sydney in 1937 and earned his doctorate from Oxford University in 1941, and in that same year he married Rita Harradence, an organic chemist, who helped him communicate and was his constant collaborator. During World War II he worked to determine the structure of the central molecule of the antibiotic penicillin. Cornforth remained at Oxford until 1946 and then joined the staff of the National Institute for Medical Research in London, where he remained until 1962. He was codirector (1962-68) and director (1968-75) of the Milstead Laboratory of Chemical Enzymology for Shell Research Ltd., in Sittingbourne, Kent. He concurrently served as a professor at the University of Warwick (1965-71) and the University of Sussex (1971-82).

Extractions: about us hall of fame : JW CORNFORTH John Warcup Cornforth was born on 7 September 1917 in Sydney. When he was about ten years old the first signs of deafness (from otosclerosis) became noticeable. The total loss of his hearing was a process that lasted more than a decade, but it was sufficiently gradual for him to attend Sydney Boys' High School and to profit from the teaching there. In particular a good young teacher, Leonard Basser, influenced him in the direction of chemistry. Basser went on to influence many others who became distinguished scientists, including Sir Robert May, now President of the Royal Society. War broke out as Cornforth and Harradence journeyed to Oxford and after completing their work (on steroid synthesis) for doctorates they made significant contributions to the chemical effort on penicillin which was the major chemical project in Robinson's laboratory during the war. But Cornforth had earlier discovered what was to prove a key reaction for the synthesis of the sterols and he resumed this project when the war ended. Cornforth retired from his Professorship in 1982 but continues to
