George Hoyt Whipple (August 28, 1878 – February 1, 1976) was an American physician, pathologist, biomedical researcher, and medical school educator and administrator.
This left Whipple to be raised by his mother, Frances, and grandmother, Frances Moody Hoyt, who impressed on him the value of hard work and education. Whipple attended Andover prep school and began attending Yale University as an undergraduate in 1896, earning A.B.
Holbrook Military School in Ossining, New York teaching mathematics and science, and serving as an athletic coach. In 1901, under the advice, persuasion, and guidance of his mother, Whipple attended medical school at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Ultimately, Whipple accepted the position which shaped his career aspirations to become a pathologist. ==Career== In 1905, Whipple joined the pathology department at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine as an assistant in pathology.
In 1911, Whipple went to Vienna to study hepatic portal vein blood flow and its effects on hepatic functions in the dog with Hans Meyer. In 1914, at 34 years old, Whipple married Katherine Ball Waring of Charleston, South Carolina.
He was promoted successively to Assistant, Instructor, Associate and Associate Professor in pathology until he left in 1914.

He was dean of that medical school in 1920 and 1921. In 1921, through the persistence of University of Rochester President Benjamin Rush Rhees, Whipple agreed to become a Professor and Chairman of Pathology, and the founding Dean of the yet-to-be-built medical school (URMC).

The first students entered URMC in 1925. ==Retirement== In 1953, at 75 years old, Whipple retired from the Deanship, and retirement from the University would follow in 1955.
During this time, Whipple also formulated his theory on "the dynamic equilibrium between blood and tissue proteins" based on earlier plasmapheresis experiments he had performed (in the early 1930s) which demonstrated the importance of dietary protein on production of plasma proteins.
In 1930, along with Minot, he received the Popular Science Monthly Gold Medal and Annual Award.
Whipple shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1934 with George Richards Minot and William Parry Murphy "for their discoveries concerning liver therapy in cases of anemia".
For his contribution to this body of work, he was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1934 along with Minot and Murphy. In 1937, Whipple collaborated with William B.

George Hoyt Whipple (August 28, 1878 – February 1, 1976) was an American physician, pathologist, biomedical researcher, and medical school educator and administrator.
He spent his retirement years dabbling in pathology department and medical school activities at the University of Rochester, but returned to his outdoors-man roots, filling his time with pheasant hunting, salmon fishing on the Margaree River, and tarpon fishing off the coast in Florida. Whipple died in 1976 at the age of 97 and his ashes were scattered in Rochester's Mount Hope Cemetery.
