Dr. Cairns Post Doc Fellowship Recommendation

Dr. John Forster Cairns (Hugh) was born in 1922 and received his M.D. from Oxford University. He worked as virologist in Australia and researcher in Uganda before successfully applying for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Department of Genetics, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Cold Spring Harbor in 1960. This letter attesting to the importance of Dr. Cairns’ work includes a handwritten note from Dr. Alfred D. Hershey: Dr. Cairns is an exceptionally intelligent and capable man. His current work is original and important and deserves generous support.
