Biographical summary Redcliffe Nathan Salaman was born in Kensington, London on 12 September 1874 to a Jewish family. In 1896 he graduated Trinity Hall, Cambridge, with a first class degree in Natural Sciences. In 1903 Salaman was appointed Director of the Pathological Institute at the London Hospital. In 1910 he published his first paper on the potato in the first issue of the Journal of Genetics. His studies in this field brought him to become one of the leading botanic scientists of his time. His research on potatoes was disrupted by the outbreak of the First World War during which Salaman joined the Royal Army Medical Corps and served in Palestine. He was director of the Potato Virus Research Institute, Cambridge, 1926-1939, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1935 and an honorary fellow of Trinity Hall in 1955.
