Severn Ochoa nings spent together either at his home, at lovely Cape Cod restaurants, or at the theater. I will always keep a warm, happy memory of my friendship with Albert. Severo Ochoa, born in Lu- arca (Asturias, Spain) in Sep- tember 1905, studied Medicine at the University of Madrid, ob- taining the degree "cum laude" in 1929. The indirect in- fluence of Cajal, whom how- ever, he never met, led to his ir- revocable decision to devote his life to the study of biology. Post- graduate studies took Ochoa successively to Berlin and Hei- delberg where he worked under the direction of Nobel laureate Otto Meyerhof, and to London, where the biochemist Harold W. Dudley initiated him to study enzymology. Back in Madrid. Ochoa was appointed Assistant Professor of Physiology in the Depart- ment of Juan Negrin (who eventually became Prime Minister of the Spanish Republic) and later promoted to Director of the Department of Physiology of the Institute of Medical Research, created by the Pro- fessor Carlos Jimenez Diaz in the new School of Medicine. In 1936 Ochoa briefly returned to Heidelberg and from there went to England to work, first at the Marine Biological Institute in Plymouth and then to the Department of Biochemistry' at Oxford with Professor Rudolph A. Peters. In 1941 Ochoa moved to the United States where, after work- ing for a year with Carl F. and Gerty T. Cori (Nobel laureates in 1947) at Washington University, St. Louis, he went to the School of Medicine of New York University. There he was (1942-1974), Research Associ- ate of Medicine. Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, and Professor and Chairman of Pharmacology. In 1954 he was appointed Professor and Chairman of Biochemistry. In 1974 he became a Distinguished Mem- ber of the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology in Nutley. New Jersey, where he worked until December of 1985. Since then he
