Philip D’Arcy Hart, CBE, born on June 25, 1900, is a British medical researcher and pioneer in tuberculosis treatment. At the age of 34, he became a consultant physician at University College Hospital. Three years later, he joined the Medical Research Council and became involved with much of the MRC's early research into dust diseases in coal miners. He subsequently showed the efficacy of the new drug streptomycin in tuberculosis treatment.
In 1941, Hart married Ruth Meyer, later a medical gynaecologist.
