Between Two Worlds is the moving story of a renowned medical scientist who was tragically cut down in his prime. Alan Goffe was born in Britain in 1920 to a Jamaican father and an English mother, both of whom were physicians.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Dr Alan Goffe was one of a group of microbiologists who helped develop and improve vaccines designed to fight two of the world’s most deadly infectious diseases - polio and measles. However, he was not destined to see the fruits of his labours. Less than a year after establishing the department of experimental cytology at the Wellcome Research Laboratories, he tragically drowned in a yachting accident off the southern coast of England. He was forty-six.
"Alan Goffe had won himself a place among the foremost virologists in this country, and had an international reputation. He took a great interest in general social problems, and played an active role himself from the humanitarian aspect." - British Medical Journal, 1966
