Philip George Houthem Gell
Philip George Houthem Gell (20 October 1914 – 3 May 2001)[1] was a British immunologist working in postwar Britain.[2]
Together with Robin Coombs, he developed the Gell–Coombs classification of hypersensitivity. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1969.[1]
Philip Gell was part of a distinguished group of immunologists who elevated Britain’s role in the biomedical field during the postwar years. He contributed to broadening the field from a narrow chemical focus to one with wider biological and medical implications. Gell trained and guided a generation of scientists, both domestic and international, with notable modesty. Beyond his scientific work, he had interests in horticulture, poetry, philosophy, and the interrelationship of art and science, reflecting his broad general knowledge.[3]
