Abstract
Gemzell’s family moved to Stockholm, where he completed his primary and secondary schooling. He started his medical studies at the Karolinska Institute in 1932 and was examined and registered as a physician in 1940. He married Louise (Lisa) Lagerquist in 1936. After some years of basic training in surgery and obstetrics and gynaecology at Sabbatsberg’s Hospital and Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, Gemzell started his research training at the Wenner-Gren Institute, University of Stockholm, in 1946. He was awarded a PhD in experimental endocrinology in 1948 with a thesis entitled: “The Effect of Corticotrophic Hormone and Oestrogen on Liver Glycogen Content and Phosphate Metabolism in the Adrenal Cortex.”
