Abstract

He came to Britain in the 1930s, his career spanning several different activities. Firstly, he was a senior lecturer in physiology at Charing Cross Hospital Medical School, moving subsequently to the United States. In 1970 he returned to Britain as manager of biological research at Imperial Chemical Industries, at an important time for the development of their cardiovascular portfolio. Retiring in 1980, he volunteered to help the then small cardiac department at Oxford, "fathering" many young British and overseas research fellows. He was particularly interested in hypertension and in developing ambulatory blood pressure measurement, publishing extensively on these topics. He received awards from the Ciba Foundation and the European Society of Hypertension. He leaves a wife, Betty, and five children.
