Leloir worked as an assistant there from 1934 to 1935 before he traveled to the University of Cambridge and spent a year working in their biochemical labs. He returned to the Institute of Physiology in 1937 where he spent his time researching the oxidation of fatty acids.
Due to political instability, Leloir moved to the United States to find work.
He was appointed as a research associate in the department of Pharmacology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and later took a position at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University, New York.
