K. George M.M. Alberti Medawar and Pyke, in Hitler’s Gift (1), record the movement out of Germany in the 1930s of world-class academic talent from within the Jewish diaspora. But among the Jewish migrants was one too young yet to show such talent, indeed a mere toddler, escaping with mother and brother as the door closed in 1939. Kurt George Matthew Mayer Alberti was born in September of 1937. His father William Peter (after the family’s names were duly anglicized) was a printer, and his mother Edith Elizabeth was a research physicist before marriage. Mayer-Alberti-Strasse can still in found in Koblenz, but the young George Alberti settled with his family in Gateshead, U.K.; U.K. citizenship was granted to all in November 1946. The northeast of England was clearly a hit with the young Alberti—he returned later in life from the south of England to be professor of Clinical Biochemistry and subsequently professor of Medicine in Newcastle (see below). But as a lad he crossed the River Tyne to Newcastle’s Royal Grammar School, an institution with a strong record for forwarding its pupils to England’s top universities; George went on to Balliol College Oxford. Balliol is perhaps better known as a cradle of high-flying politicians and civil servants, and this may have confirmed George Alberti’s (partly correct) view of his own personality as “laid back, iconoclastic, irreverent” in an interview for The BMJ in 2016 (2). More Cambridge than Oxford in fact. Young George. Left: George and older brother (Peter) with grandparents (Willi and Hedwig Lachmann) in Koblenz, Germany, prior to the family’s move to England. Middle: George as a schoolboy, circa 1947. Right: George and his mother, Edith, circa 1962 Medical students at Oxford usually studied Animal Physiology as an intercalated Bachelor of Arts degree, and it was not unusual …

乔治·阿尔贝蒂（George Alberti）：对糖尿病的无数贡献

希特勒的礼物（1）中的K. George MM Alberti Medawar和Pyke记录了1930年代来自犹太人散居世界的世界级学术人才从德国迁出的情况。但是在犹太移民中，还太年轻了，还没有表现出这种才能，实际上只是个小孩，随着1939年门关门而逃离母亲和兄弟。库尔特·乔治·马修·梅耶·阿尔贝蒂（Kurt George Matthew Mayer Alberti）于1937年9月出生。一家人的名字都被正确地命名了）是一个印刷厂，他的母亲伊迪丝·伊丽莎白是婚前的研究物理学家。Mayer-Alberti-Strasse仍然可以在科布伦茨找到，但是年轻的George Alberti和他的家人定居在英国的Gateshead。1946年11月，所有人获得了英国国籍。英格兰东北显然是年轻的阿尔贝蒂（Alberti）的重灾区-他后来从英格兰南部返回，担任临床生物化学教授，随后又在纽卡斯尔（Newcastle）担任医学教授（见下文）。但是作为一个小伙子，他越过泰恩河到达纽卡斯尔的皇家语法学校，这是一所在将学生升读到英格兰顶尖大学方面拥有出色记录的机构。乔治进入牛津巴利奥尔学院。Balliol可能被称为高飞的政客和公务员的摇篮，这也许在2016年接受BMJ采访时证实了George Alberti（部分正确）对自己性格的看法（部分正确）：“悠闲，反传统，无礼” （2）。实际上，剑桥比牛津还多。年轻的乔治。左：位于德国科布伦茨的乔治（George）和哥哥（Peter）和祖父母（Willi和Hedwig Lachmann），在一家人搬到英国之前。中：乔治，男小学生，大约1947年。右：乔治和他的母亲，伊迪丝，大约1962年，在牛津大学的医学生通常将动物生理学作为插入的文学学士学位学习，这并不稀奇……
