Born in Gardham Beresby, Yorkshire, England. Parents were Robert Percy Hawking 1873-1936 and Mary Lund Atkinson 1869-1966. Spouse was Isobel Walker 1915-2013. Father of Stephen William Hawking and Edward Frank David Hawking.
Dr F Hawking, DM, FRCP, DTM, formerly head of the department of parasitology and chemotherapy at the National Institute for Medical Research, died on 4 March after a long illness. Frank Hawking was born on 18 May 1905 and educated in Yorkshire, acquiring directness of thought, bluntness of speech, and a high regard for matters of principle and family. He qualified MRCS, LRCP via University College of Oxford, and St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, in 1929. Having determined on a research career in tropical medicine and chemotherapy, he began his work at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. His DM these in 1933 was nominally on induced drug resistance in trypanosomes but strayed into immunology host specificity, and quantitative studies on the uptake of acriflavine by the parasites. This last subject was further developed until in 1938 he was able to estimate the intracellular concentrations of acriflavine in normal and resistant strains; he considered this to be his finest intellectual achievement. Between his multifarious scientific activities Frank found time for canoeing, camping, beekeeping, wine making, gardening and writing. He was a devoted family man and is survived by his wife and his four children.
