Dr. Philip George was born in Kent, in England, in 1920 and graduated from the University of Cambridge in 1941. He received the M.A. degree in 1944, and the Ph.D. degree in 1945, working on the oxidation of liquid hydrocarbons under the direction of Professor E. E. Rideal, F.R.S., in the Department of Colloid Science.
Between 1947 and 1955 he held a postdoctoral fellowship in the Molteno Institute for Parasitology in Cambridge, the Brotherton Research Lectureship in Physical Chemistry at Leeds University,a Rockefeller Fellowship in the Johnson Foundation for Medical Physics at the University of Pennsylvania, and an Assistant Directorship of Research in the Department of Colloid Science in Cambridge. In 1955 he returned to the University of Pennsylvania as Research Professor in Biophysical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry. He has served as Chairman of the Graduate Group in Molecular Biology, Director of the General Honors Program in the Undergraduate College, and is at present Chairman of the Department of the History and Philosophy of Science.
His published papers deal mainly with oxidation-reduction reactions, co-ordination chemistry, hemoprotein reactions, and thermodynamic aspects of metabolic and biosynthetic reactions, especially those involving high-energy phosphate compounds.
He is a member of ten scientific societies in this country and in England, including the Chemical Society (London), the Biochemical Society, the Faraday Society, the American Chemical Society, the Society of Biological Chemists and the Biophysical Society. From 1962 to 1966 he served on the Biophysical Sciences Training Committee of the U. S. Department of Healh, Education and Welfare.
