Laureat in Medicine,1934.
American physician, b.
Stoughton, Wis., M.D. Harvard, 1920. He taught at Harvard from
1923 and was associated with the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital,

diseases of the blood and particularly of the liver treatment
for pernicious anemia. He and his colleagues discovered the role
of intrinsic factor that is produced in the stomachas being necessary
for the absorption of Vitamin B-12. Lack of intrinsic factor
leads to pernicious anemia.Before the work of Murphy, et al,
pernicious anemia was a fatal disease.For his work on pernicious
anemia he shared with G. H. Whipple and G. R. Minot the 1934
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He wrote Anemia in
Practice (1939).
