Robert Huber
1937-
German chemist and corecipient of the 1988 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Hartmut Michel and Johann Deisenhofer for their work in photosynthesis, the chemical process that turns sunlight into energy in plants. Huber's laboratory pioneered a technique using x-ray crystallography to determine the molecular structure of membrane-bound proteins and the process of photosynthesis. Huber received his Ph.D. degree in 1963 from Technical University in Munich, Germany, and later headed the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry.
