Wilfred (‘Wilf’) Armarego was a British Subject born in Alexandria, Egypt. In June 1953, he was awarded the University of London External B.Sc. Special Honours degree in Chemistry. He then left Egypt for London and began research training in stereochemistry at Bedford College (University of London) in November 1953 under the tutelage of Professor E. E.Turner FRS, and subsequently submitted a Ph.D. thesis in 1955. He moved to Melbourne, Australia, in September 1956 and was appointed Research Officer at the new ICIANZ Central Research Laboratories where he worked on plant growth substances for 2 years. He joined the Department of Medical Chemistry, John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR), ANU, in January 1960, where he worked until his retirement in 1996. Wilf was awarded a D.Sc. at the early age of 36 years by the University of London for his work in heterocyclic chemistry, and in 1972 he changed his research field to studies of pteridine requiring enzymes associated with a variety of inborn errors of metabolism in children. This involved work on enzyme purification, cloning, mutation, expression, kinetics, and mechanisms. Since retirement, Wilf has been a Visiting Fellow in the JCSMR. He has written four books (Fused Pyrimidines, Part 1 – Quinazolines, Stereochemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Parts 1 and 2, and Purification of Laboratory Chemicals) in addition to having over 140 publications in his name. His awards include FRSC (FRIC 1963), C. Chem, FRACI (1972), the A. D. Olle Prize (1968), and Worldwide WHO's WHO 2014 Professional of the Year, Representing Medical Research.
