Biography[edit | edit source]
Robert Heinz Abeles (January 14, 1926 – June 18, 2000) was an American biochemist, dedicated in particular to enzymology and chemical biology. He was born in Vienna, but his family moved to Chicago in 1939, and he made most of his career at Brandeis University. In his later years, Abeles had serious health problems, including Hodgkin's disease in the 1970s and Parkinson's disease in the last ten years.
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.
