| Immunologist, born in Toulouse, S France. After studying medicine in Paris, service during World War 2 in a blood transfusion unit developed his interest in haematology and the immune response to transfusion. His work in this field led to ‘tissue typing’, which has since helped to reduce the risk of rejection in organ transplant surgery. He shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1980. |
