(3 jun. 1904, Washington, D.C., EE.UU.–1 abr. 1950, cerca de Burlington, N.C.).

Médico y cirujano estadounidense. Obtuvo su Ph.D. en la Universidad de Columbia. Mientras investigaba sobre las propiedades y la preservación del plasma sanguíneo, desarrolló formas eficientes para procesar y almacenar plasma en bancos de sangre. Dirigió hasta 1942 los programas de sangre y plasma de EE.UU. y Gran Bretaña en la segunda guerra mundial. Siendo un afroamericano, renunció a causa de la segregación de la sangre para negros y blancos en los bancos de sangre.
