| Biologist, born in Ste Foy-lès-Lyon, France. He studied at Lyon University, and moved to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City in 1906. He discovered a method of suturing blood-vessels which made it possible to replace arteries, and was awarded the 1912 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. He did much research on the prolongation of the life of tissues, and helped Henry Dakin develop Dakin's solution for sterilizing deep wounds. |
