dyson perrins laboratory

The Dyson Perrins Laboratory was the main centre for research into organic chemistry of Oxford University from its foundation in 1916 with an endowment from Charles Dyson Perrins, the Worcester Sauce legatee, to its retirement in 2003. The heads of the laboratory were the four consecutive Waynflete Professors of Chemistry:

W.H. Perkin, from 1912 to 1930;
Sir Robert Robinson, from 1930 to 1954. Nobel Prize winner, 1947;
Sir Ewart Jones, from 1954 to 1978;
Sir Jack Baldwin, from 1978 to 2003.

During its 87 year working life, the laboratories had an extremely distinguished career; the laboratory can claim a stake in shaping the scietific careers of two Nobel Laureates, namely Lord Alexander R. Todd (1957) and Sir John W. Cornforth (1975) passed their formative years as young chemists in the laboratories. The building is now used for teaching; all research in chemistry at Oxford is now conducted at the University's Chemical Research Laboratory.
