Alexis Carrel

Alexis Carrel, né le 28 juin 1873 à Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon et mort le 5 novembre 1944 à Paris, est un chirurgien, biologiste, écrivain scientifique et eugéniste français. Pionnier de la chirurgie vasculaire, lauréat du prix Nobel de physiologie ou médecine en 1912, il fut renommé pour son expérience du cœur de poulet battant in vitro pendant un temps très supérieur à la vie d'un poulet - expérience invalidée par la suite. Il effectua la plupart des recherches après 1917 au sein de l'Institut Rockefeller, à New York. Avec sa technique de la culture tissulaire, Alexis Carrel est le premier scientifique qui ait réussi, en 1926, à faire se multiplier un virus, en principe incapable de se reproduire ailleurs que dans des cellules vivantes.
