After undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago, and doctoral work at the University of Colorado, Abeles carried out post-doctoral research under the supervision of Frank Westheimer in the chemistry department at Harvard University. This research formed the starting point for his life's work on the mechanisms of the chemical reactions of living systems. | |||
