Bence Jones

Born in 1813 and active in nineteenth-century Britain, Henry Bence Jones studied medicine and chemistry and built a reputation as a careful investigator as well as a physician. He became especially associated with St George’s Hospital and with the Royal Institution, where he worked at the meeting point of clinical practice and chemical research.

His name is most closely linked to the discovery of the distinctive proteins found in the urine of some patients with multiple myeloma, later called Bence Jones proteins. That work helped show how chemical testing could deepen diagnosis, and it made him one of the notable figures in the move toward a more scientific, laboratory-based medicine.

Beyond his own research, he also wrote on medical and scientific subjects and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Although the dates you supplied are 1814–1873, the sources I found identify him as Henry Bence Jones, 1813–1873.
