Albert Chibnall

Albert Charles Chibnall (28 January 1894 - 10 January 1988) was a British biochemist.

Chibnall was born and educated in England, joined the Army Service Corps at the outbreak of World War I and transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in 1917.

Following the war he became a research student at Imperial College, London, working with, and eventually succeeding S.B. Shryver as Professor of Biochemistry.

His work focussed on plant biochemistry but he was appointed Sir William Dunn Professor of Biochemistry at Cambridge University in 1943.

He resigned in 1949 since he felt it was a role more suited to a medically qualified biochemist.
