Biographical note
Chain felt very strongly that physiological biochemistry was becoming neglected in favour of molecular biology, and he lobbied vigorously against this trend. In particular, he pressed officials of the Department of Health and Social Security and of the Medical Research Council on the subject, and a joint meeting was held at the Council on 22 July 1974
