Zwarrie taught us biochemistry in 2nd year and ran the practicals. In1933 he and Dr Hillel Shapiro discovered the Xenopus (frog) test for thediagnosis of pregnancy. This test, which was used worldwide for at least25 years, was one of the two breakthroughs from UCT Medical Schoolthat made medical history – the other, of course, being the 1st hearttransplant in December 1967.
