| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | He has made original observations on the peptides of picornaviruses, particularly foot-and-mouth-disease virus, and has combined biochemical, immunological and electron-microscopic techniques to deduce something of their position in the particle and function. He has studied likewise a rhabdovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus. He has made comparative biophysical and chemical studies of picornaviruses and rhabdoviruses and used the results to improve the basis of clarifying these viruses. He has also contributed to the study of the mechanism of replication of virus ribonucleic acid. He has used his knowledge to assist in the development of vaccines and rapid diagnostic methods. |
