Dr. Beruj Benacerraf, who shared the 1980 Nobel prize in medicine, has
given $72,000 - his third of the prize money - to the Sidney Farber Cancer
Institute of Boston, of which he is the president. "I felt it was the best way
to show my belief in the research goals of the institute . . . to benefit
mankind by eradication of cancer," says Benacerraf. He won the Nobel prize for
studies of the human immune system along with researchers Dr. George Snell of
the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, and Dr. Jean Dausset, director of
immunology at the University of Paris. Benacerraf said, "Perhaps the gift will
set a precedent for other (institute* trustees to follow."
