Dr. George C. Nutting, a U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist, has retired after 29 years at the Agricultural Research Service's Eastern Utilization Research and Development Division in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania.
Dr. Nutting has been chief of the Division's Milk Properties Laboratory since its inception in 1960. Scientists working under his direction have achieved a worldwide reputation for their work on the proteins of milk such as beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin, on the physical and chemical structure of milk caseins, and on the genetic polymorphism of caseins. Earlier, Dr. Nutting had distinguished himself by his basic research in many fields of interest to the Eastern utilization division, including the spectroscopy of solids, characteristics of surface films, electron microscopy, molecular composition of starch, and light-scattering experiments.
A native of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Dr. Nutting is a graduate of Brown University. He received his Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley, where he was instructor from 1934 to 1936.
