Highlights
Feodor Felix Konrad Lynen (1911–1979) was born in Munich, Germany
During the 1940s, Lynen began studying the biosynthesis of sterols and lipids
He eventually initiated a collaboration with Konrad Bloch, whose cholesterol research was featured in a previous Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) Classic (1)
Summary
Feodor Felix Konrad Lynen (1911–1979) was born in Munich, Germany. He was undecided about his career during his early education and even considered becoming a ski instructor. The war made it difficult to continue to do research in Munich, and Lynen moved his laboratory to the small village of Schondorf on the Am-Feodor Lynen mersee. Lynen continued his work at various laboratory facilities and eventually returned to the rebuilt Department of Chemistry in 1949. He eventually initiated a collaboration with Konrad Bloch, whose cholesterol research was featured in a previous Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) Classic (1).
