Benacerraf, Baruj I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, on October 29, 1920 of Spanish-Jewish ancestry. I was discharged in 1947 and, motivated by intellectual curiosity, decided upon a career in medical research at a time when such a choice was not fashionable. My interest was directed, from my medical student days, to Immunology, and particularly to the mechanism of hypersensitivity. I had suffered from bronchial asthma as a child and had developed a deep curiosity in allergic phenomena. I sought the advice of many scientists, among whom René Dubos at Rockefeller University, John Enders at Harvard Medical School, and Jules Feund at the Public Health Research Institute in New York, to whom I had been recommended by members of the faculty in Richmond. During this period also I managed a New York bank, the Colonial Trust Company, which had been bought by my family and associates from Venezuela. However, the success of my laboratory made me realize that I had to choose between a scientific career and my business interests. I made the decision to devote myself solely to my laboratory and my students and to curtail my business career, as I felt the challenges were far greater in my chosen profession. This is precisely the time when I initiated the studies in Immunogenetics that resulted in my being awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

He studied at Columbia and the University of Virginia where he obtained his MD in 1945. He worked first at the Columbia Medical School before spending the period 1950–56 at the Hospital Broussais in Paris. He returned to America in 1956 to the New York Medical School where he served from 1960 to 1968 as professor of pathology. After a short period at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at Bethesda , Maryland, Benacerraf accepted the chair of comparative pathology at Harvard in 1970, a position he held until his retirement in 1991. In the 1960s, working with guinea pigs, Benacerraf began to reveal some of the complex activity of the H2 system, described by George Snell . In particular he identified the Ir (immune response) genes of the H2 segment as playing a crucial role in the immune system. This was achieved by injecting simple, synthetic, and controllable ‘antigens’ into his experimental animals and noting that some strains responded immunologically while others were quite tolerant. Such differential responses have so far indicated there are over 30 Ir genes in the H2 complex.
