René Bernard Wurmser was a French biophysicist born on September 24, 1890 in Paris and died on November 9, 1993 in Boulogne-Billancourt.[1]
In his doctoral thesis, he applied the ideas of modern physics to the study of chlorophyll assimilation. He then shows that the initial event of the photosynthesis cycle is the photolytic degradation of water.
Between 1939 and 1940, he worked on a process for preserving blood, later used by doctors for blood transfusion.
In 1958, he became the second administrator of the Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology (IBPC), after the death of Pierre Girard (1879-1958). A few years after the beginnings of molecular biology, he understood the importance of focusing the activity of the IBPC in this field. He was a bridge between biophysics and molecular biology.[2][3]
