Edward Boyse

Edward Boyse (August 11 1923 – July 14 2007) was a British-born, American physician and biologist best known for his research on the immune system and pheromones.

Boyse, 83, Dies; Multifaceted Doctor" July 27, 2007] ] Boyse was born in Worthing, England and studied medicine at the University of London.

Boyse joined the staff of Sloan-Kettering in New York City in 1962 following an appointment at New York University. He was a professor of biology at Cornell University Medical College between 1969 and 1989 and a professor at the University of Arizona between 1989 and 1994.

Boyse and others were among the earlier researchers to look at how the immune system responded to antigens using mice focussing on the role of white blood cells. He later studied how animals can communicate through odors. Boyse was the first to propose that umbilical cord blood could be used in place of bone marrow for hematopoietic reconstitution.

Boyse retired in Tucson, Arizona where he died in 2007 from pneumonia, aged 83.
