1949

Completing his undergraduate work at the University of Burgundy, Guillemin received his M.D. degree from the Medical Faculty at Lyon in 1949, and went to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, to work with Hans Selye at the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the Université de Montréal where he received a Ph.D. in 1953.

The same year he moved to the United States to join the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine at Houston.

1965

In 1965, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

1970

In 1970 he helped to set up the Salk Institute in La Jolla, where he worked for neuroendocrinology until retirement in 1989.

Guillemin and Andrew Schally discovered the structures of TRH and GnRH in separate laboratories.

The process of this scientific discovery at Guillemin's laboratory is the subject of a study by Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar, published as Laboratory Life.

1976

He received the National Medal of Science in 1976, and the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1977 for his work on neurohormones, sharing the prize that year with Andrew Schally and Rosalyn Sussman Yalow.
