	Peter Medawar - Wikipedia Mirror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Medawar's earlier research, done at Oxford, was on tissue culture, the regeneration of peripheral nerves and the mathematical analysis of the changes of shape of organisms that occur during this development.
		Medawar's work resulted in a shift of emphasis in the science of immunology from one that attempts to deal with the fully developed immunity mechanism to one that attempts to alter the immunity mechanism itself, as in the attempt to suppress the body's rejection of organ transplants.
		Medawar was professor of zoology at the University of Birmingham (1947-51) and University College London (1951-62), in 1962 he was given the position of the director of the National Institute for Medical Research, professor of experimental medicine at the Royal Institution (1977-83), and president of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School (1981-87).

	Peter Brian Medawar Biography \| World of Biology
		Sir Peter Brian Medawar shared the 1960 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with Australian, Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet for discovering that tissue transplantation failed because of immune system rejection and not because of genetic differences, as previously believed.
		Medawar's early research into tissue culture and nerve regeneration led him to develop a "biological glue" with which severed nerves could be rejoined and which became widely used in skin grafts.
		Medawar was a Reith Lecturer for the British Broadcasting Corporation, spoke and lectured in many countries, and was a Foreign Member of the New York Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.
