David Horrobin Bibliography

David Horrobin (who died on 1 April 2003) was a prolific research scientist whose work was wide-ranging but was primarily concerned with the use of fatty acids in the treatment of disease. As a service to the research community, and as a small memorial, I have gathered together a bibliography containing as many of his publications and patents as I have been able to discover, together with abstracts where available. These can be accessed from the links below, by year of publication, or through the index of co-authors.

There are 950 publications, with a further 114 patents in which he is a named inventor, bringing the grand total to 1064. From his first publication in 1964 through to his death, this is equivalent of one publication every two weeks for 39 years - a prodigious achievement.

I have included all the published material which I can find which cites David Horrobin as an author or co-author. This includes letters, reviews, book chapters, and editorials as well as articles in peer-reviewed journals. Although not strictly admissable on the foregoing criterion, I have also included a few of the books which he edited, as these might otherwise be hard to locate.

The references are arranged alphabetically by author within each year and, where the author is repeated, by journal title.

I would like to acknowledge the assistance I have received over the years in developing this database. My thanks therefore to (in alphabetical order):

Crispin Bennett
Liz Bradley (Tweedy)
Bob Farwell
Brenda Reynolds
Rivita Rodrigues
Barb Stailing
Christina Toplack

There will inevitably be some omissions and errors, for which of course I alone am responsible; if you find any, I would appreciate a call or an email. Equally, if you can supply me with any of the missing abstracts (as a photocopy or electronically) I will certainly add it to the collection.
