David Keilin was an entomologist, among other things. His family returned to Warsaw early in his youth. He did not attend school until age ten due to ill health and asthma. Only seven years later, in 1904, he enrolled in the University of Liège. He later studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge and became a British citizen.

  • David Keilin was an entomologist, among other things. His family returned to Warsaw early in his youth. He did not attend school until age ten due to ill health and asthma. Only seven years later, in 1904, he enrolled in the University of Liège. He later studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge and became a British citizen. He became research assistant to George Nuttall, first Quick Professor of Biology at the University of Cambridge, in 1915, and spent the rest of his career there, succeeding Nuttall as Quick Professor and director of the Molteno Institute in 1931. He retired in 1952. He made extensive contributions to entomology and parasitology during his career. He published thirty-nine papers between 1914 and 1923 on the reproduction of lice, the life-cycle of the horse bot-fly, the respiratory adaptations in fly larvae, and other subjects. He is most known for his research and rediscovery of cytochrome in the 1920s (he invented the name). It had been discovered by C. A. McMunn in 1884, but that discovery had been forgotten or misunderstood. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1926. He won its Royal Medal in 1939 and its Copley Medal in 1951.

  • David Keilin was een Russisch-Britse entomoloog en parasitoloog. Keilin behaalde zijn grootste erkenning met zijn onderzoek en herontdekking van cytochromen in de jaren twintig, een naam die hij eraan gaf. Deze waren eerder ontdekt door CA McMunn in 1884, maar die ontdekking werd vergeten of verkeerd begrepen. Keilin droeg tijdens zijn carrière aanzienlijk bij aan de entomologie en de parasitologie. Tussen 1914 en 1923 publiceerde hij 39 papers over onder meer de voortplanting van luizen, de levenscyclus van de paardenhorzel en de ademhalingsaanpassingen van de larven van vliegen.
