I was a medical doctor and a scientist. I was very interested in solving the problem of storing and using blood for transfusions (a transfusion is done when a person is hurt or ill and needs blood restored in their body). I developed a process for removing plasma (blood without cells) from blood. Plasma can be stored much longer than whole blood. I was credited with heading two blood banks – The American Red Cross and Blood for Britain. Blood for Britain provided blood for soldiers injured in World War II.
