	Peter Medawar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 the 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).

	Alibris: Peter Medawar
		by Medawar, P. To those interested in a life in science, Sir Peter Medawar, Nobel laureate, deflates the myths of invincibility, superiority and genius; instead, he demonstrates it is common sense and an inquiring mind that are essential to the scientist's calling.

		Described by The Washington Post as a "genuinely brilliant popularizer" of science, Nobel Prize-winning immunologist Sir Peter Medwar writes essays that are remarkable for their clarity and wit.
