Career and research
editKorner became Director of Studies in Biochemistry at Clare College, Cambridge, where he was made a fellow in 1960 and served as a lecturer from 1960 to 1967.[7] During this time, Korner supervised the PhD of the future Nobel laureate Tim Hunt.[1][8] In 1967, Korner moved to the University of Sussex,[9][10][11] where he became the university's first professor of biochemistry.[12]
Awards and honours
editKorner is commemorated at the University of Sussex through the Korner Travelling Fellowship Fund.[13]
