He held a post at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences of the University of London in the Royal College of Surgeons of England for 18 years. The University of London is a university based primarily in London, England, UK. The Royal College of Surgeons of England is an independent Professional body committed to promoting and advancing the highest standards of surgical care During that time he developed certain bioassay techniques that led to important scientific discoveries. Bioassay is a shorthand commonly used term for biological assay and is a type of scientific Experiment. He won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1982 for his work on aspirin in which he discovered it inhibited prostaglandin biosynthesis[1][2][3][4]. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (Nobelpriset i fysiologi eller medicin is awarded once a year by the Swedish Karolinska Institute.

In 1973, Vane left academia and took up the position of director of research of the Wellcome Foundation. The Wellcome Trust was established in 1936 as an independent charity funding research to improve human and animal health Twelve years later, however, he returned to academic life at the William Harvey Research Institute at the Medical College of St Bartholomew's Hospital (now Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry). St Bartholomew's Hospital, also known as Barts, is a hospital in Smithfield in the City of London, England. [5]
