Chauncey Depew Leake (September 5, 1896 – January 11, 1978) was an American pharmacologist, medical historian and ethicist. Leake received a bachelor's degree with majors in biology, chemistry, and philosophy from Princeton University.[1] He received his M.S. (1920) and Ph.D. (1923) from the University of Wisconsin in pharmacology and physiology.[2]
Leake married the microbiologist Elisabeth Wilson in 1921, and they collaborated for many years. They had two sons and remained married until her death in 1977.[4][5]
Leake discovered the anesthetic divinyl ether. One of his publications was a translation of the 1628 physiological work De motu cordis (On the Motion of the Heart) from Latin to English.
A collection of his papers is held at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland.[8]
