Archer J.P. Martin quit working at the Wool Industries Research Association in Leeds a year before Richard L.M. Synge began.
Working first in the Physical Chemistry Laboratory, he moved to the Dunn Nutritional Laboratory, and in 1938 moved to Wool Industries Research Institution in Leeds. Archer Martin shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the invention of partition chromatography with Richard Synge. The University of Houston dropped him from its chemistry faculty in 1979 (when he was 69 years old) because he was not publishing enough.
