==Notable chemists==
The heads of the laboratory were the four consecutive [[Waynflete Professors of Chemistry]]:

# [[Robert Robinson (organic chemist)|Sir Robert Robinson]], from 1930 to 1954. [[Nobel Prize]] winner, 1947;

During its 87-year working life, the laboratory had an extremely distinguished career; it can claim a stake in shaping the scientific careers of two Nobel Laureates, namely [[Alexander R. Todd, Baron Todd|Lord Todd]] (1957) and [[Sir John W. Cornforth]] (1975) who passed their formative years as young chemists in the laboratories.
