 Baruch Blumberg
Born in 1925, Dr. Baruch Blumberg received
his M.D. from Columbia University, then his Ph.D. from Oxford. In the 1960s, he
examined blood samples from a variety of populations to see how they differ in
susceptibility to disease. During this study, he discovered an antigen that
enabled both a screener and a vaccine for hepatitis B. Blumberg was awarded a
Nobel Prize for this work in 1976.
