Snell, George Davis (1903–1996)| US geneticist who was awarded a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1980 with Jean Dausset and Baruj Benacerraf for their work on genetically determined structures on the cell surface that regulate immunological reactions, and in particular their identification of histocompatibility genes, genes that control the acceptance or rejection of tissue and organ transplants, in mice. |
| Snell was born in Bradford, Massachusetts, and trained at Harvard University and then became one of the founding members of the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, in 1929. The Jackson Laboratory is a non-profit-making, independent laboratory for the investigation of the causes of cancer and other diseases through mouse research. |
