Title: John Gofman
Description: The Donner Laboratory won federal support for continuation of its prewar work in medical diagnosis, instrumentation, and therapy. An example is the treatment of acromegaly and Cushing's disease with beams of charged particles, initiated by John Lawrence and Cornelius Tobias. Other work, like that leading to the discovery of the lipoproteins; and their effects on cardiovascular disease by John Gofman, Frank Lindgren, and their collaborators, brought the Laboratory into entirely new areas. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)
