[[Lieutenant-Colonel]] '''Sir David Semple''' (6 April 1856 – 7 January 1937) was a [[British Army]] officer who founded the [[Pasteur Institute]] at [[Kasauli]] in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The institute later came to be known as the [[Central Research Institute (CRI)]].

Semple was born in [[Derry]], the son of William Semple of [[Castlederg]], [[County Tyrone]]. He was educated at [[Foyle College]] and earned his [[M.D.|MD]] and [[MCh]] degrees at [[Queen's University Belfast]], followed by his [[Doctor of Public Health|Public Health]] degree from Cambridge in 1892.<ref name="burkegreatwar">{{cite book |title= [[Burke's Peerage|Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knighthood]]|publisher=Burke's Peerage & Gentry |editor= Burke, Sir Bernard |editor-link=Bernard Burke |edition=76th |year= 1914 |page= 2520 |ref=Burke }}</ref>

In 1911, he developed a nerve-tissue based [[rabies]] [[vaccine]] from the brains of sheep first made rabid and then killed. The 'Semple' vaccine however is known to have side-effects such as paralysis with high risk of other diseases, being just a crude form of churned brain-tissue. It needs administration around the stomach in a series of very painful injections administered over a period of seven to 14 days, a course that many do not complete. Moreover, it is not reliable and the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) has been advocating its total disuse since 1993. (WHO literature )

He was given a knighthood in 1911,<ref>[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/28469/page/1462 London Gazette issue 28469]</ref> and is buried in [[City of Westminster Cemetery, Hanwell]].
