Lymphology, medical ignorance/ignoramics and the nobel connection: Howard Florey, Joshua Lederberg, and Françoise Barre-Sinoussi

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Intriguing interludes with Nobel laureates have marked the history of Lymphology. Bounded (or rather unbounded) by a mutual fascination with ignorance and the unknown, their curiosity converged around microbes, infections, and host responses mediated by the lymphatic system. These studies transcended a simple "molecular model of life.".
