Albert Szent-Györgyi was a distinguished Hungarian biochemist celebrated for his pioneering contributions to physiology and medicine. His groundbreaking work led to the isolation of vitamin C, a key discovery that earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. Additionally, he elucidated essential components of the citric acid cycle and advanced the understanding of muscle contraction at the molecular level. Beyond his scientific achievements, Szent-Györgyi was actively involved in the Hungarian Resistance during World War II and later engaged in Hungarian politics in the post-war period.
