   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Eagle, Harry (1906–1992)

US medical biologist. He formulated the essential compounds needed to sustain the reproduction of human and other mammalian cells in test tubes. Known as ‘Eagle's growth medium’, it allowed new research on viruses, cancer, and genetic defects to be done.

He was born in New York City, and, after taking his medical degree at Johns Hopkins, he taught and researched there. He then went to the National Institutes of Health, where he headed various sections. Next, he joined the faculty of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. As well as ‘Eagle's growth medium’, he also made notable discoveries about the process of blood clotting, the treatment of arsenic poisoning, and a cure for African sleeping sickness.
