William Richmond (21 November 1941 in Springfield, Fife – 18 August 2010 in Advie) was a Scottish biochemist and medical researcher, best known for developing a new method for testing blood cholesterol. This test has come to be known as the Richmond test. After leaving school, he studied Chemistry at St. Andrews University. His first job was at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy. He later worked in London, and spent most of his working life working in hospitals there, such as St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington. His research, funded by the Medical Research Council, led to the development of a new test for cholesterol in 1973. This test has since been widely used to test for cholesterol levels globally. He died on holiday in an accident while fishing on the Spey. He was always proud to be a Scot, and

August 2010 bei , Moray) war ein schottischer Biochemiker, bekannt für einen Test auf Cholesterol im Blut (Richmond Process, 1973), der weltweit genutzt wurde. Er forschte über den Fettstoffwechsel. Er war der Sohn eines Bankangestellten und einer Postangestellten. Er studierte Chemie an der University of St. Andrews, bevor er für das Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy arbeitete. Danach forschte er für den Medical Research Council in dessen klinischem Forschungszentrum in (Northwick Park Hospital), wo er auch den Test auf Cholesterol entwickelte und 1973 veröffentlichte. Später war er Biochemiker Berater (Consultant) in Londoner Krankenhäusern und insbesondere am St. Mary´s Hospital in Paddington, wo er 2006 als Leiter der Chemischen Pathologie in den Ruhestand ging. Dort untersuchte er mit den Zusammenhang von Cholesterol, Blutdruck, Gefäßerkrankungen und Diabetes. Er führte Tests aus, um die Verträglichkeit und Wirkung verschiedener Menschen auf Fette zu untersuchen. Er zog keinen finanziellen Gewinn aus seinem Test. Richmond spielte Dudelsack und komponierte auch eigene Melodien für den Dudelsack. Er entwarf auch seine eigenen Tartan-Muster und ein weiteres Hobby war Fliegenfischen. Er starb beim Fischen im Fluss Spey bei Advie Bridge, als er ausrutschte und von der Strömung erfasst wurde. (de)
