te Inivèsite a te enplike nan avans anpil syantifik ak envansyon. Soti nan 1925 jouk 1948, Sir Norman Haworth te Pwofesè ak Direktè nan Depatman an nan Chimi. Li te nonmen Dean nan fakilte a nan Syans ak aji kòm Vis-Direktè soti nan 1947 jouk 1948. rechèch li konsantre majorite sou chimi idrat kabòn nan ki li konfime yon kantite estrikti nan sik optik aktif. pa 1928, li te dedwiz ak konfime estrikti yo nan maltoz, cellobiose, laktoz, gentiobiose, melibiose, gentianose, rafinoz, osi byen ke estrikti nan bag glukozid tautomeric nan sik aldose. rechèch li te ede yo defini karakteristik debaz yo nan lanmidon an, karboksimetil,glikojèn, insuline ak ksilan molekil. Li te tou kontribye nan direksyon pou rezoud pwoblèm sa yo avèk polisakarid bakteri. Li te gen yon moun k ap resevwa nan Prize la Nobèl nan Chimi nan 1937.

The university has been involved in many scientific breakthroughs and inventions. From 1925 until 1948, Sir Norman Haworth was Professor and Director of the Department of Chemistry. He was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Science and acted as Vice-Principal from 1947 until 1948. His research focused predominantly on carbohydrate chemistry in which he confirmed a number of structures of optically active sugars. By 1928, he had deduced and confirmed the structures of maltose, cellobiose, lactose, gentiobiose, melibiose, gentianose, raffinose, as well as the glucoside ring tautomeric structure of aldose sugars. His research helped to define the basic features of the starch, cellulose,glycogen, inulin and xylan molecules. He also contributed towards solving the problems with bacterial polysaccharides. He was a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1937.
