BiographyHe was born in Glasgow, the son of Robert Laidlaw, M.D., at that time Superintendent of the Glasgow Medical Mission,[1] and was educated at Leys School, Cambridge and St. John’s College, Cambridge. From 1920-23 he studied the properties of histamine at the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories after which he went to Guy's Hospital as a lecturer in experimental pathology. As a virologist at the Medical Research Council in 1922 his researches on dog-distemper led to two ways of immunisation against it, which achievement earned him the award of a Royal Medal by the Royal Society in 1933. In 1927 he had been elected a fellow of the Royal Society.[2] He was one of the scientists working at the Medical Research Council (NIMR Farm Laboratories) at Mill Hill who first isolated influenza virus from humans.[3] This happened when ferrets they were working on to develop a distemper vaccine caught influenza from one of the scientists in the laboratory. He was knighted in the 1935 Birthday Honours for distinguished service to medical science.[4] He died unmarried at the age of 58.
