Alberto Sols García (1917–1989) was a Spanish researcher specializing in biochemistry, working especially on
hexokinases . He effectively created biochemistry as a major discipline in Spain.
Life
Alberto Sols was born in
Sax, Alicante , on 2 February 1917, the son of Pedro Sols Lluch. He died in Denia, Alicante, on 10 August 1989. The house of his birth is now the Centro de Estudios y Archivo Histórico Municipal Alberto Sols.
[1]
Career
Sols studied medicine at the University of Valencia, and after working for three years, principally with
Robert Crane
[2] at
Washington University in St. Louis , in the group of Nobel prizewinners
Carl and
Gerty Cori he returned to Spain in 1954, and created a research group at the
Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). His work concerned hexokinases
[3] and sugar phosphorylation in general.
[4]
In 1963 he was Founding President of the Spanish Society of Biochemistry (now Spanish Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology—Sociedad Española de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular: SEBBM).
[5] He was also a member of scientific societies in the UK, USA, Argentina and Chile.
Distinctions
Sols received numerous prizes, and was the first holder of the premio Príncipe de Asturias de Investigación Científica y Técnica (1981).
[6] In 1987 he received the National Research Prize "Santiago Ramón y Cajal" of the Ministry of Education.
