Boyse and others were among the earlier researchers to look at how the immune system responded to antigens using mice focussing on the role of white blood cells. In 1975, he won the Cancer Research Institute William B. Coley Award for distinguished research in immunology. in 1976 he won the Isaac Adler prize awarded jointly by Harvard and Rockefeller Universities. He later studied how animals can communicate through odors. Boyse was the first to propose that umbilical cord blood could be used in place of bone marrow for hematopoietic reconstitution.[2] Boyse was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the Royal Society,[4] and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
