Description

In this letter, Heidelberger declined the informal offer of the directorship of an immunological research institute the Medical Research Council was establishing outside London. The offer by the Council, the main public sponsor of biomedical research in the United Kingdom, was an expression of the high esteem accorded Heidelberger by his scientific colleagues.
