Summary

Perry Manusu was a veterinarian whose Gladesville Veterinary Hospital encompassed small animal practice and zoo animals while also specialising in equine medicine. For over 20 years he was the official vet to the Australian Jockey Club and Sydney Trotting Club. Manusu also made significant contributions in research on electrophoresis and haematology. In 1960 he established Troy Laboratories in order to produce veterinary pharmaceuticals utilising Australian research: within 20 years this became the largest Australian veterinary pharmaceutical formulator. With Joel Margolis, Manusu established Gradipore to develop electrophoresis technology. Together they produced a number of world-first gels. Other achievements include a method to fractionate human plasma which can be established in areas of limited medical services. Manusu was instrumental in establishing in the 1960s the small animal and equine sections of the Australian Veterinary Association.
