Abstract
DR. W. E. GAUNT has been appointed research director of the Ashe group of associated companies. Dr. Gaunt graduated from the Colour Chemistry Department at the University of Leeds and obtained his Ph.D. for work on biochemistry and physiology undertaken at the Leeds School of Medicine. Afterwards Dr. Gaunt joined Sir John Orr's staff at the Rowett Research Institute to work on nutrition problems, and just before the War went to Guy's Hospital Medical School as dental research fellow to do work of a similar nature. Since the War started Dr. Gaunt has gained further experience in organic chemistry at Guy's, working with Prof. C. S. Gibson, and has also increased his all-round knowledge of nutrition during a short spell with Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. Dr. Gaunt's experience in several research fields will enable him to serve Messrs. Ashe Laboratories Ltd. in maintaining and extending on sound nutrition lines their numerous food products. We understand that Dr. Gaunt will be encouraged to continue work on fundamental problems, particularly on human protein requirements.
