About the author
The Medical Research Committee was established in 1913 in Great Britain to oversee and distribute public funding for medical research. It was created under the framework of the National Insurance Act 1911, with an early mission that grew beyond tuberculosis into broader medical investigation.
In 1919–1920, its role and structure evolved into the Medical Research Council, which went on to become one of Britain’s most important research institutions. Works issued under the Committee’s name belong to the formative years of organized, state-backed medical research in the UK.
