Description
Antibiotics, insulin, cortisone: countless medicines, which are now lifesavers, were still undiscovered in 1900. Since then, there have been impressive advances in pharmaceutical research. This book is dedicated to all those whom we have to thank for this. While today research is conducted by university teams and working groups in industry, during the early decades of the 20th century it was primarily individual researchers whose ingenuity led to the development of new agents. An introduction to these ‘lighthouses’ in the fields of chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine, and to their successes.
