He played a vital role in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War II and later led the Enteric Reference Laboratory of the Public Health Laboratory Service. Anderson achieved international acclaim for his studies on plasmids that render bacteria resistant to antibiotics, specifically in cases of typhoid fever and bacterial food poisoning. His exceptional contributions to public health were acknowledged with the titles of fellow of the Royal Society and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).
