Alexis Carrel (1873-1944), French surgeon. Carrel studied in France, emigrating to Canada in 1903. He then moved to Chicago, Illinois, USA. It was there that he carried out his work on the suturing and repair of blood vessels that led to him being awarded the 1912 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. From 1906, for the rest of his career, he worked at the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research. During World War I, he worked on wound antisepsis. In the 1930s, he worked on organ transplantation.
