Description
Avery in his lab, circa 1920
Avery’s work came to the attention of Rufus Cole, the director of The Rockefeller Institute Hospital, and he asked Avery to join the Hospital’s pneumonia research program. Avery moved to The Rockefeller Institute in 1913, where he focused most of his research for the next thirty-five years on a single species, the pneumococcus.
