Bede Morris: a perspective from an early PhD candidate

Abstract

Between 1953 and 1986, Bede Morris published 28 papers in the Journal, each of which elucidated aspects of the lymphatic system. Initially with rats at the Kanematsu Institute at Sydney Hospital under FC Courtice, and then at Australian National University with sheep and a succession of PhD students, Morris developed an impressive series of experimental approaches and understandings of the role of the lymphatic system in the physiology and immunology of the mammalian body. In this piece for the 100th anniversary of the Journal, we celebrate his contributions to immunological research.
