In broad strokes, this looks like the right kind of outline for a biography. Be sure to take a look at some other scientist biography articles to see how the very beginning of article is expected to look. (The entire lead section should be a concise summary of the article, while the begging of the lead section is an even more concise summary, highlighting the most important things you'd want a reader to know if they were going to stop after one paragraph, and the first sentence can be thought of almost like a dictionary definition of the topic of the article.) There must be a mistake in either the date of death (1955) or the date he took over as editor of Physiological Zoology (1957).
