Abstract:
Frank Macfarlane Burnet (1899-1985) was born in Victoria, Australia, and obtained his MD in 1924 from the University of Melbourne. Burnet spent 2 years in England at the Lister Institute, where he studied bacteriophages and earned a PhD in 1928. Returning to Australia, he worked at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute; as a bacteriologist, he continued his research on phages. Burnet then made a significant contribution by devising a method for cultivating viruses in a living chick embryo (1932-33).
