Williams set out to develop a more reliable way of simulating the liver's filtering ability in 1966, when he founded the liver research unit at King's College with one assistant. Backed by private and government grants-and aided by a staff that has now expanded to 44 -he devised a series of 2-ft.-high glass columns through which the patient's blood is detoured. The columns are filled with charcoal granules, which filter water-soluble impurities from the blood; additional columns filled with resins are being tested to remove less soluble protein-bound compounds...
