| Title | Race, Robert Russell: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Distinguished for the application of serological methods in human genetics, and of genetics in medecine (sic). In particular he is principally responsible for the progressive elucidation of the complicated genetical situation found in connection with the Rhesus (underlined) and other factors capable of causing haemolytic disease. Besides showing how simple antigenic distinctions in families with heritable anomalies can be used for linkage studies, his work has immensely increased the number of human genotypes distinguishable by serological methods, and the efficacy of these methods in the recognition of individuality and parentage, and in the prognosis of future births.
