Kazimierz Funk anglicized as Casimir Funk, was a Polish biochemist credited with being among the first to formulate the concept of vitamins, which he called "vital amines" or "vitamines". After reading an article by the Dutchman Christiaan Eijkman that indicated that persons who ate brown rice were less vulnerable to beri-beri than those who ate only the milled product, Funk tried to isolate the substance responsible, he succeeded; because that substance contained an amine group, he called it "vitamine". It was to be known as vitamin B3, though he thought that it would be thiamine and described it as "anti-beri-beri-factor". In 1911 he published his first paper on dihydroxyphenylalanine. Funk was sure that more than one substance like Vitamin B1 existed, in his 1912 article for the Journal of State Medicine, he proposed the existence of at least four vitamins: one preventing beriberi. From there, Funk published a book, The Vitamines, in 1912, that year received a Beit Fellowship to continue his research.

Funk proposed the hypothesis that other diseases, such as rickets, coeliac disease, scurvy could be cured by vitamins. Funk was an early investigator of the problem of pellagra, he suggested that a change in the method of milling corn was responsible for the outbreak of pellagra, but no attention was paid to his article on this subject. The "e" at the end of "vitamine" was removed, when it was realized that vitamins need not be nitrogen-containing amines, he postulated the existence of other essential nutrients, which became known as vitamins B1, B2, C, D. In 1936 he determined the molecular structure of thiamine, though he was not the first to isolate it. Funk conducted research into hormones, peptic ulcers, the biochemistry of cancer. After returning to the United States, in 1940 he became president of the Funk Foundation for Medical Research, he spent his last years studying the causes of neoplasms. The Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America annually honors Polish-American scientists with the Casimir Funk Natural Sciences Award.
