Francis Kiernan FRS (2 October 1800 - 31 December 1874) was born in Ireland in 1800. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1834[1] and was awarded its Copley Medal in 1836 for his work on the anatomy of the liver[2]. That same year he became a founding Member of the Senate of the University of London, where he acted as examiner and lecturer in anatomy and physiology.

In 1843 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and later served on its Council. After a single year as Vice-President (1864-5), he declined re-nomination on the grounds of ill-health[3].

He died at his home in Manchester Street, Manchester Square, London on New Year’s Eve, 1874[4], and was buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery at Mortlake, London.
