L. Royal Christensen
Dr. L. Royal Christensen, a noted epidemiologist, and a colleague at New York University School of Medicine (William S. Tillett) won the 1949 Lasker Award. The honor was given for their discovery and purification of two enzymes: streptokinase and streptodornase. The former is used to dissolve blood clots. The latter, sometimes used in concert with streptokinase, helps ameliorate stubborn infections that previously were treated surgically. Dr. Christensen's enhancement of streptokinase made it possible to apply the enzyme in the treatment of patients. More broadly, streptokinase is used to treat patients suffering cardiac arrest.
Dr. Christensen was born In Everson, Washington. He graduated from the University of Washington and earned his PhD in bacteriology from St. Louis University in 1941, the same year that he joined the NYU faculty. In 1953 he was named Director of the new Berg Institute. In 1967, Dr. Christensen moved to Toronto where he served as the first director of the Division of Laboratory Animal Science at the University of Toronto. Known internationally as a committed advocate for the humane treatment of laboratory animals, in 1961 he was asked by the World Health Organization to chair the organization's first symposium on animal laboratory disease.
Dr. Christensen founded the American Association of Laboratory Animal Science and served as its first president. He also served as president of the corresponding Canadian association.
