Dakins graduate studies at the Lister Institute in 1902, followed by his work with Albrecht Kossel at the University of Heidelberg, were made possible by the award of an 1851 Exhibition Grant.
Dakin was an extremely honest and modest man who refused to speak in public, and in 1926, after he had submitted a paper about thyroxine to the Journal of Biological Chemistry, discovered that a former associate had independently reached similar conclusions, and so withdrew the paper.
Dakin was elected fellow of the Royal Society when he was aged 37, and was awarded the Davey Medal by that Society.
