The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine

Abstract

THE annual report which was presented by the governing body of the Lister Institute to the meeting of members held on June 9 records another year of satisfactory progress. There has been only one substantial change in staff: Dr. A. T. MacConkey, who has been in charge of the serum laboratories at Elstree for twenty years, has retired, and is succeeded by Dr. G. F. Petrie. Dr. Muriel Robertson, after several years of absence through ill-health, has returned to work and will restore the protozoological laboratory to a working department. The activities of the staff are augmented by workers maintained by the Medical Research Council, the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research Committee, the Rockefeller Foundation, the British Empire Cancer Campaign, and others who find in the Institute the facilities and atmosphere which they need.
