George Henry Alexander Clowes
George Henry Alexander Clowes (1877–1958)[1] was a doctor who worked as the first research director at Eli Lilly and Company. He was responsible for mobilizing Eli Lilly resources to mass-produce insulin,[2] making it available for diabetics beginning in 1923.[3][4] He was an art collector whose collection of paintings by European Old Masters was donated to the Indianapolis Museum of Art.[5] He and his two sons established The Clowes Fund in 1952 to fund art, education, and social services.[6] The Clowes Award for cancer research was named in his honor.[7]
His grandson, Alexander Whitehill Clowes, wrote The Doc and the Duchess, a book about his grandfather's life and legacy.[8]
