He was educated at Caltech and the University of California at San
Diego. Dr. Robinson and his colleagues have worked primarily in
fundamental protein chemistry and in the development of methods for the
quantitative measurement of human health. During the 1970s, they
originated the field that is now known as metabolomics. They have also
worked in nutrition and preventive medicine. Their research has been
carried out at UCSD, Stanford, the Linus Pauling Institute, of which Art
