PAUL EHRLICH

(1854-1915) b. Strehlen, Silesia
Bacteriologist and Biochemist The
tireless researcher brought diagnos-
- tic medicine to new heights by
employing dyes for staining and
identifying bacteria and tissues, as
well as for treating disease. The pro-
cedure led to his triumphant discovery of salvarsan, also
known as 606, which cured syphilis and laid the
foundations of modem chemotherapy. He was also hailed
as a founder of the emerging science of hematology as
well as for major contributions to immunology for which
he received a 1908 Nobel Prize.

KARL LANDSTEINER

(1868-1943) b. Vienna, Austria
Bacteriologist and Pathologist His
landmark discovery of human blood
groups and the Rh factor followed
his1922 appointment to New York's
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
,
search.The resulting realization of accurate blood match-
ing for safe transfusions earned him a Nobel Prize in
1930. Forensic medicine was also given a tool for con-
firming the parentage of children. Equally important, his
early studies of the poliomyelitis virus guided Jonas Salk
in producing an anti-polio vaccine.

SELMAN WAKSMAN

(1888-1973) b. Priluki, Russia
Microbiologist While at Rutgers
University, New Jersey, he devised
methods to culture and identify
strains of microbes whose secretions
killed infectious bacteria. By 1944
he isolated streptomycin, the first and most widely used
chemOtherapeutic agent of its time. He called it an"anti-
biotic," the name that clung to other such substances he
and his successors have since developed. The winner of
a Nobel Prize in 1952 had inspired a family of
pharmaceuticals rightly called medical miracles.
-Saul Stadtmauer

"We can be proud that the first American man to receive a
Nobel Prize for Physics was Albert Michaelson, a Jew, and
the first American woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology
or Medicine was Rosalyn Yalow, Jewish as well."
- W. L. F.'
