Philip Douglas Lawley (4 July 1927 – 18 December 2011 ) was a British chemist, best known for demonstrating that DNA damage was the base cause of cancer working with Peter Brookes. In January 2003 the ICR honoured the achievements of Brookes and Lawley by naming a £21m laboratory after them. It is devoted to research on the genetic nature of cancer and located next to the Haddow laboratories.
