Almost certainly not a hoax. {{doi|10.1530/JME-16-0033}} is published in the Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, for instance. It lists his affiliation as the William Harvey Research Institute as of 2016. He's not listed in their current faculty directory (https://www.qmul.ac.uk/whri/people/?), but the paper was published four years ago so it wouldn't be surprising if he'd moved on or retired. I'm actually not surprised that a scientist born in the 1920s isn't listed on the Yale or Rockefeller websites, because if he was affiliated with those institutions it would likely have been in the pre-Internet era. As for notability, he's a second or third author on two papers in ''Nature (journal)|Nature'' (https://www.nature.com/articles/260793a0, https://www.nature.com/articles/298686a0), and a number of other widely cited papers, so a decent case for . But I know most sciences have very high citation counts, so I'm not sure if his scholar result (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22d+g+smyth%22&btnG=) establishes notability just by citation count alone. I'll leave the !voting to the experts
