Minot, George R. (Richards) (1885–1950) hematologist; born in Boston, Mass. He was on the medical staff of several American hospitals (1912–23) before joining Harvard Medical School (1928–48). Minot and colleague William Murphy shared one-half the 1935 Nobel Prize in physiology for their successful treatment of heretofore fatal pernicious anemia with dietary liver and liver extract. Minot's other major contributions to hematology include developing iron treatment for hypochromic anemia (1931–32) and demonstrating that hemophilia is related to the absence of a plasma globulin (1946).
