Paul Fildes

Sir Paul Gordon Fildes (10 February 1882 to 5 February 1971) was a British pathologist and microbiologist. During the Second World War he worked on the development of chemical-biological weaponry at Porton Down, which places him among the scientists whose laboratory skills were turned to military research. The source summary used for this entry is only a single sentence, so his earlier scientific work, his publications and his honours are not described here, and each is left as a specific item for a later depth pass rather than guessed at from memory.
