Sir Henry Hallett Dale - a brief biography

Henry Dale was born in 1875 in London. He graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1903 with a BCh, and one year later Henry Wellcome offered him a research post in physiology at the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories. There Dale spent ten fruitful years, first as pharmacologist then director.

Dale was one of the five Trustees named in Wellcome's will. He became Chairman of Trustees in 1938 and remained in this role until his retirement in 1960. He was instrumental in the planning and inception of the Trust's grant-making policy, and until the mid-1950s dealt with virtually all the scientific secretarial aspects of the Trust's work, including interviewing applicants for grants and the preparation of applications for submission to his fellow Trustees.

To commemorate his unique services as Chairman, in 1961 the Trust endowed the Henry Dale Research Professorship of the Royal Society.
