Grant Lathe
"We have been notified that, very sadly, Emeritus Professor G H Lathe
died on 2 July 2007.
"A Canadian by birth and a graduate of McGill University in both science
and medicine, Professor Lathe came to Leeds in 1957 as Professor and
Head of the Department of Chemical Pathology. His previous appointment
had been as consultant biochemist at the Bernhard Baron Memorial
Research Laboratory at Queen Charlotte's Maternity Hospital. Here, his
research had led to the crucially important discovery of a biochemical
explanation of a form of severe brain damage in premature infants. He
was to maintain a life-long interest in the metabolism of bile pigments
and haemolytic disease in the newborn."
"Professor Lathe retired from his Chair in 1977 but remained active in
research, maintaining a close association with the Department of
Pharmacology for many years."
