Cohen, Seymour S. (Seymour Stanley), 1917-

Seymour S. Cohen is a biochemist whose work on bacterial viruses, begun in 1945, was the first systematic exploration of the biochemistry of virus-infected cells and of how viruses multiply. Other research during his career included delineating the phenomenon of thymineless death; developing derivatives of ara-A compound; working on RNA synthesis; studying the effects of polyamines on metabolic systems; and studying plant viruses (including viral cations). Much of his research has been useful in leading to the chemical treatment of cancer and viral infections.
