David A. Bender was educated at North Ealing Primary School and Greenford County Grammar School in London and then studied biochemistry at the University of Birmingham in England from 1965 to 1968. He joined the Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School as a research assistant in 1968, was appointed as a lecturer in biochemistry in 1970 and received his PhD (on the metabolism of aromatic amino acids) from the University of London in 1971. The Middlesex Hospital Medical School merged with University College London (UCL) in 1987, and he became a member of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UCL. He was appointed as senior lecturer in biochemistry in 1994 and professor of nutritional biochemistry in 2009. He retired from UCL in 2011, with the title of Emeritus Professor. From 1994 until retirement, he was the assistant faculty tutor to the medical students, and from 1998 he was the subdean (Education) and director of studies for the early years of the medical course at UCL. His research interests have been in the fi eld of amino acid and vitamin nutritional biochemistry, and he was a member of the working group on vitamins that formed part of the expert committee that produced the 1991 report on Dietary Reference Values for Food Energy and Nutrients for the United Kingdom, the European Union expert committee that produced the 1993 report on Nutrient and Energy Intakes for the European Community and the Food Safety Authority of Ireland working party on Safe Micronutrient Levels.
