In 1847, he suggested the use of hand disinfectant while working in the Vienna General Hospital and published a book of his findings. At the time, his studies were rejected by the medical community, and some found it offensive that he would suggest that doctors must wash their hands.

Crick and Watson became motivated to create this discovery after chemist Linus Pauling suggested an incorrect model. This major discory brought the use of pre-natal screening for disease genes; genetically engineered foods; the ability to identify human remains; the rational design of treatments for diseases such as AIDS; and the accurate testing of physical evidence in order to convict or exonerate criminals.

Even though Dr. Lawler never performed another kidney transplant, his success helped shine a light on the possibility of organ transplants as a feasible and effective treatment option.
