Ragnar Arthur Granit was born in the parish of Helsinge, Finland, on October 30th, 1900, eldest son of the Crown forester Arthur Wilhelm Granit and his wife Albertina Helena Malmberg. The family then moved to the neighbourhood of Helsingfors where his father opened a firm dealing with sylviculture and forest produce and the son became a pupil of the Swedish Normallyceum belonging, as he did, to the Swedish population of his native country, to a sea-faring family from the island of Korpo in the Baltic waters separating Sweden and Finland. He still spends his summers on this island. Granit matriculated at Helsingfors University In 1928 he spent half a year at Sir Charles Sherrington 's laboratory at Oxford and returned there as a Fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1932-1933. The years 1929-1931 he spent as Fellow in Medical Physics at the Johnson Foundation of the University of Pennsylvania In 1940 he was called to Harvard University and to the Royal Caroline Institute Medical Nobel Institute for which new buildings were to be erected. In 1946 he received a personal research chair in Neurophysiology from the Ministry of Education. The new building was ready in 1947. He retired as Professor Emeritus in July, 1967.

Granit, Ragnar Arthur (b. Oct. 30, 1900, Helsinki, Fin.), Finnish-born Swedish physiologist who was a corecipient (with George Wald and Haldan Hartline ) of the 1967 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his analysis of the internal electrical changes that take place when the eye is exposed to light. Granit received his M.D. from the University of Helsinki in 1927, after which he conducted research at the University of Pennsylvania and at the laboratory of Sir Charles Scott Sherrington at Oxford, Eng. He was appointed professor of physiology at the University of Helsinki in 1937. A naturalized Swede, Granit joined the medical school of the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, in 1940; he was named chairman of the institute's department of neurophysiology in 1946. A year earlier he had also become the director of the Nobel Institute for Neurophysiology in Stockholm. In the 20 years from 1956 to 1976 Granit also served as a visiting professor or researcher at numerous institutions. From studies of the action potentials in single fibres of the optic nerve, Granit formed his

The Granit family is originally from Korppoo. The family home for over 100 years was in Vikminne in Korpoström. Ragnar Granit's grandfather was a sea captain. During Ragnar's childhood his father looked after his silviculture firm in Helsinki and the family lived in Oulunkylä. Ragnar b. 1900, Greta b. 1902, Ingrid b. 1905 Ragnar Granit's childhood home at Helsinki Ragnar went to school in Helsinki in the Swedish Normallyceum and passed the matriculation examination in 1919. After matriculation Ragnar first considered starting law studies and in fact took summer courses in 1919 at Åbo Akademi University in philosophy and Finnish legal language. The summer course in philosophy had a strong orientation towards psychology and this latter subject completely captivated him. His uncle, Lars Ringbom, who had a well-developed knowledge of human nature, remarked on this while on a stroll with the young Ragnar around the Cathedral neighbourhood and along the banks of the river. He said to Ragnar: "Det är lönlöst att ägna sig åt psykologi om man inte har en läkares utbildning eller åtminstone skaffat sig djupgående kunskap i biologi." ("It's useless to devote oneself to psychology if one does not have a doctor's training or at least a deep knowledge of biology.") And so Ragnar finally chose to study medicine.

Laitos Ragnar Granit Institute To honor the memory of the Finnish-born Nobel Laureate, professor Ragnar Granit, who died in March, 1991, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Tampere University of Technology has changed its name to Ragnar Granit Institute. This change of name is based on the permission of professor Granit's family. Professor Ragnar Granit Professor Ragnar Granit had remarkable merits in the research of bioelectric phenomena and in the biophysics of vision as well as in the human nervous system. Due to his merits in the studies of the electrophysiology of the eye he received the Nobel Prize in 1967 together with the American biophysicist Haldan Keffer Hartline and biochemist George Wald. Ragnar Granit himself informed that the works from which the Nobel Prize was awarded, he made for a great deal before moving to Sweden when he still was citizen of Finland. Professor Ragnar Granit has also received several honors from universities and institutes around the world. He was awarded by the honorary degree of Academician by the Academy of Finland in 1985.

Annual Report 1997 Contents Contents Director´s statement 4th RGI Symposium ... Institute RAGNAR GRANIT INSTITUTE Ragnar Granit Institute In honor of the memory of the Finnish-born Nobel Laureate, Professor Ragnar Granit (1900- 1991), the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Tampere University of Technology (TUT) changed its name to The Ragnar Granit Institute (RGI) in 1992. This was with the kind permission of professor Granit's family. It is the purpose of the Ragnar Granit Institute to provide education in bioelectromagnetism and biomedical engineering and to pursue research in this field on a high international level. The main research areas of the Institute are: bioelectric and biomagnetic phenomena low noise instrumentation instrumentation in clinical physiology and clinical neurophysiology medical informatics Biomedical Engineering Research Center At the end of 1994 a new 12000 m2 research building was completed adjacent to the Tampere University Hospital (TAUCH). Total floor area of 1200 m2 is jointly occupied by RGI/TUT, the University of Tampere and TAUCH thus forming the collective title of Biomedical Engineering Reseach Center (BERC). In March 1995, Ragnar Granit Institute moved approximately half of its activities to the Biomedical Engineering Research Center leaving the remaining activities in-situ in the Department of Electrical Engineering Building of Tampere University of Technology. Being located at the BERC provides excellent facilities for interdisciplinary cooperation with the aforementioned institutes. On the other hand, the Ragnar Granit Institute cannot transfer all its activities to the Biomedical Engineering Research Center because it must maintain close contact with the University of Technology and the students.

Ragnar Granit by Yrsa Neuman At the University of Philadelphia Ragnar Granit had large research facilities at his disposal and received generous grants for acquisition of research equipment. At the same time British physiologist Haldan Keffer Hartline conducted research at the University of Philadelphia. In Pennsylvania Granit had the opportunity to experimantally test his theory on the nervous layer of the retina and its importance for seeing. Ragnar Granit returned to Helsinki in 1934, and was shocked and saddened by the persecution of the Swedish language by the fennomans at the University of Helsinki. In his book he describes the hooligans hollering in the University aula and tarring Swedish language wall signs. Granit wished to research whether the retina had separate receptors for the different components of solar light, in other words about the way the eye sees color. Granit reached conclusions similar to those of the classics of color vision theory the early English physicist Thomas Young and the German physicist and physiologist Hermann von Helmholz : that the retina has three color sensitive layers. It turned out that the eye entails a kind of nerve center that prepares the information for the brain and for the actual way there. At the Carolinian Institute Granit focused his research on how the spinal marrow and the brain exert muscular control. He retired in 1967, the same year he shared the Nobel Price with Hartline and George Wald for his discoveries concerning the physiological and chemical foundations of vision. He passed away in 1991.

Hän oli virkansa puolesta Nobel-komitean jäsen ja saattoi siksi saada Nobelin palkinnon vasta jäätyään eläkkeelle. Palkinnon hän sai päivälleen 35 vuotta sitten, 10.12.1967. Ragnar Granit palkittiin yhdessä H. Keffer Hartlinen ja George Waldin kanssa näköön liittyvistä tutkimuksista. Tätä tutkimustyötä Granit teki jo Suomessa ennen Ruotsiin siirtymistään. Hänen mukaansa kunnia Nobel-palkinnosta kuuluu yhtä paljon sekä Suomelle että Ruotsille.

Spotlight on Neuroscience Ragnar Granit Ragnar Granit was born near Helsinki, Finland in 1900. His professional training began at Helsinki University, where he completed his MD degree in 1926. His thesis on the theory of color vision recorded the bioelectric signals from the retina of a frog using electrodes that he had developed. In 1928, Granit began a four year tour of study abroad, including a visit with Nobel Laureate Sir Charles Sherrington, in Oxford, England in 1928. From 1929 to 1932 Granit was a professor at Pennsylvania University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He returned to Helsinki to continue his research in 1932, where he was appointed Professor of Physiology in 1937. In 1945, he was selected as director of Neurophysiological Laboratory of the Medical Nobel Institute. Before retiring in 1967, Granit traveled extensively and was a visiting professor at Rockefeller University, New York from 1956 until 1966. In 1967, he was selected as a Co-Nobel Prize Winner for Physiology and Medicine regarding his work for discoveries concerning the primary physiological and chemical visual processes in the eye. Ragnar Granit died in 1991 at the age of 91.
