Tiselius was born inStockholm. Following the death of his father, the family moved toGothenburg where he went to school, and after graduation at the local "Realgymnasium" in 1921, he studied at theUppsala University, specializing inchemistry.
Tiselius became a research assistant atTheodor Svedberg's laboratory in 1925 and obtained his doctoral degree in 1930 on "The Moving Boundary Method of Studying theElectrophoresis ofProteins". From then to 1935 he published a number of papers ondiffusion andadsorption in naturally occurring base-exchangingzeolites, and these studies continued during a year's visit toHugh Stott Taylor's laboratory inPrinceton University with support of aRockefeller Foundation fellowship. On his return toUppsala he resumed his interest in proteins, and the application of physical methods tobiochemical problems. This led to a much-improved method of electrophoretic analysis which he refined in subsequent years.
We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the language.Arne Tiselius[13]
