Early life
His father was the surgeon Harvey Gilmer Mudd (1857–1933).[3][4][5][6] Stuart Mudd graduated in 1916 with a B.S. in biology from Princeton University[7] and in 1918 with an A.M. from Washington University in St. Louis.[8] At Harvard Medical School he graduated with an M.D. in 1920 and held a research fellowship in biophysics from 1920 to 1923.
Career
He was from 1923 to 1925 an associate at the
Mudd did research on a wide variety of topics, including
In 1952 he was the president of the Histochemical Society.
In 1925 he was elected a Fellow of the
Personal life
In 1922 he married Emily Borie Hartshorne, who became in 1956 the first woman appointed to a full professorship at the UPenn Medical School.[14] Upon his death in 1975, he was survived by his widow, two sons, two daughters, and six grandchildren.[2]
