David Dane

David Maurice Surrey Dane (25 March 1923 –9 April 1998) was a virologist who first isolated the hepatitis B virion at London's Middlesex Hospital, in 1970.[1] His colleague, June Almeida of the Wellcome Research Laboratories coined the term "Dane particle" for this virus. He was educated at Charterhouse School, and in 1941 volunteered to join the Army, later serving in the SAS and the Special Operations Executive. He studied medicine at Clare College, Cambridge and completed his clinical training at St Thomas's Hospital.[2]
