Leonard Victor Eggleston

The set of 20 notebooks and one BSc thesis records biochemical research carried out by Len Eggleston, research assistant to the Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Hans Krebs, between the years 1941-1974 (for information on Krebs see the entry for the Krebs Papers). They commence during the Second World War, when Krebs was engaged as part of the war effort in work on nutrition at Sheffield University's Sorby Research Institute (see entry under Sorby Research Institute Collection), and continue in the post-war period at the Universities of Sheffield and Oxford. A few letters relating to the work of the Sorby Research Institute found in the notebooks are noted in the itemised list.

Another early notebook of Eggleston, dated from July 25 1936, forms part of the Krebs Papers (ref. D22 (Notebook 13)).
