Biography

Lewis Kay is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Biophysicist, developer of NMR methods for protein structure and dynamics

How & why

A Canadian biochemist at the University of Toronto and the Hospital for Sick Children, Kay is a leading pioneer of biomolecular solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). He developed NMR methods that reveal not just the static structure of proteins but their motions and rare, fleeting conformations — insights vital to understanding how proteins work and misfold. He is documented among Jewish contributors to biomedical science.
