Medical Research Society

The Medical Research Society (MRS) was founded by Sir Thomas Lewis in 1930.

The Society was 'instituted for the purpose of advancing knowledge of the causes and processes of disease, by clinical or related experimental studies in man’.

[2][3] The MRS continued to hold regular research meetings until October 2011 when it merged with the Academy of Medical Sciences.

[1] The report was written by Lewis, Thomas Renton Elliott, Wilfred Trotter and John Parsons.

[6] The first demonstration at the first meeting was on 'The effect of unilateral sympathetic release in a case of Raynaud's disease' by George Pickering.
