  • 1948 - Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research, Lasker Foundation
  • 1945 - William H. Nichols Medal, American Chemical Society (ACS)
  • 1944 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
  • 1933 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Vincent du Vigneaud was affiliated with Cornell University in the United States during their scientific career.

Their research focused on biochemically important sulfur compounds and included the synthesis of polypeptide hormones. The work on the first synthesis of a polypeptide hormone was acknowledged through a Nobel Prize awarded in 1955.

Vincent du Vigneaud's recognition within the scientific community included several notable awards and honors. These included the Nobel Prize in 1955 for work on sulfur compounds and hormone synthesis, the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 1948, the William H. Nichols Medal from the American Chemical Society in 1945, election as a Member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1944, and fellowship in the American Association for the Advancement of Science beginning in 1933.

Despite the absence of listed papers, coauthors, and publication venues in the available data, the scientist's contributions are documented mainly through these awards and their university affiliation.
