George Keble Hirst, M.D. (March 2, 1909 – January 22, 1994) was an American virologist and science administrator who was among the first to study the molecular biology and genetics of animal viruses, especially influenza virus. He directed the Public Health Research Institute in New York City (1956–1981), and was also the founding editor-in-chief of Virology, the first English-language journal to focus on viruses. He is particularly known for inventing the hemagglutination assay, a simple method for quantifying viruses, and adapting it into the hemagglutination inhibition assay, which measures virus-specific antibodies in serum. He was the first to discover that viruses can contain enzymes, and the first to propose that virus genomes can consist of discontinuous segments. The New York Time

Hirst ist vor allem für seine Entdeckung der Hämagglutination durch Influenzaviren (1941) und die Etablierung des Hämagglutinationshemmtests (1942) bekannt. Darüber hinaus konnte er den Genaustausch zwischen Influenza-Stämmen (Reassortment) beschreiben (1962). (de)
