About this title

Synopsis

This is the autobiography of Thomas H. Weller, M. D., a research scientist who helped develop the technique of growing viruses in tissue culture, and who became a world leader in the study of tropical diseases.

The development of tissue culture techniques transformed the field of virology. It led to the identification of many new infectious agents...several of which were discovered by Weller...and led to the development of many viral vaccines, starting with the Salk and Sabin vaccines.

In 1954, Weller shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology with Drs. John Enders and Frederick Robbins.
