After graduate work at Oxford, he held research and teaching posts there. He was professor of zoology (1947–51) at the Univ. of Birmingham and in 1951 became professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at University College, London. During World War II, he discovered a method for joining ends of severed nerves; he later became noted for his experimental work in transplanting living tissue from one body to another. Working on a theory proposed by Sir Macfarlane Burnet , he proved it was possible under certain circumstances for an organism to overcome its normal tendency to reject foreign tissue or organs. Medawar was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine jointly with Sir Macfarlane Burnet for this discovery of acquired immunological tolerance. He was knighted in 1965. A prolific writer, his works include The Art of the Soluble Advice to a Young Scientist (1979), and an autobiography (1986).

Oct. 2, 1987, London, Eng.), British zoologist who received (with Sir Macfarlane Burnet ) the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1960 for the discovery of acquired immunological tolerance when he found (1953) that adult animals injected with foreign cells early in life accept skin grafts from the original cell donor. Medawar was professor of zoology at the universities of Birmingham (1947-51) and London (1951-62), director of the National Institute for Medical Research, London (1962-71), professor of experimental medicine at the Royal Institution (1977-83), and president of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School (1981-87). He was knighted in 1965 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1981. 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's works include The Uniqueness of the Individual The Future of Man The Art of the Soluble The Hope of Progress Life Science Pluto's Republic (1982), and his autobiography

magdalen history nobel laureates sir peter medawar undergraduate admissions graduate admissions college life history ... internal website Peter Brian Medawar was born in Rio de Janeiro in February 1915 to an English mother and a Lebanese father. He came to Magdalen as a 'Commoner' to read Zoology in 1932, becoming a Senior Demy (or research Scholar) in 1936 and a Fellow of the College between 1938 and 1944 and then again between 1946 and 1947, when he accepted the Chair of Zoology at Birmingham University. At Oxford he was much influenced by Howard Florey in whose department he was to meet his wife Jean Taylor. They married in 1937. His Nobel Prize was awarded (jointly with Sir MacFarlane Burnet) in 1960 for their work in tissue grafting which is basic to organ transplants. This work stemmed from war-time research, when improvements were sought for dealing with skin grafts required after severe burns. The significant contribution was the demonstration that graft rejection can be entirely prevented in mice and chickens if foreign cells from the future graft donor are introduced into the recipient during foetal or neo-natal life (i.e. when the animals are immunologically immature). This represented a clear demonstraton that the immunological barriers to the transplantation of foreign tissue and organ grafts - thought to be insurmountable - could be overcome by subtle immunological interference, opening up a vast field of scientific endeavour. He was made an Honorary Fellow of Magdalen in 1961 and a year later became Director of the National Institute for Medical Research. In 1969, when only 54, he suffered a massive brain haemorrhage while reading the lesson at Exeter Cathedral. He was seriously handicapped for the rest of his life but remained extraordinarily active mentally.

Medawar, Peter (Brian) Francis Bacon dreamed of a new state, a New Atlantis, a just and humane society of which the chief commodity of external trade was light- Bacon's own special light, the lumen siccum, the light of the understanding; a society dedicated to the 'effecting of all things possible'. I like the idea of a merchandise of light, of light as a commodity of trade. I think it is the idea that has animated all great educational adventures in the past - not least to the great educational adventure that led a hundred years ago to the foundation of this great university (AUB).
