Abstract

A symposium to mark the centenary of the birth of Sir Hans Krebs was held in St. Catherine's College, University of Oxford, UK, during September 13-15, 2000. It was organized by Marion Stubbs, a long-time associate of Krebs, and Geoff Gibbons, the head of the Metabolic Research Laboratory that was established for Krebs after his retirement from the Chair of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. The speakers, from all parts of the world, were Krebs' friends and associates, dating from all stages of his career in the UK, beginning with Reg Hems, who joined Krebs in the early 1940s. The three children of Hans and Margaret Krebs-Helen, Paul, and John-were present. Sir John Krebs, F.R.S., Royal Society Research Professor of Zoology at Oxford, gave the welcoming address. This article was adapted by Drs. Stubbs and Gibbons from one of the same title that appeared in the program book. We thank them for their kind cooperation. We also thank Mrs. Helen Lowell (nee Krebs) for conveying the permission of the Krebs' children to reproduce the illustrations in this article. - William Whelan, Editor-in-Chief
