Leonard Arthur Herzenberg

U.S.A. / November 5, 1931
Immunologist and Geneticist; Professor, Stanford University

"Outstanding contribution to life sciences with the development of a flow cytometer that uses fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies"
Dr. Leonard Arthur Herzenberg took the lead in developing a flow cytometer called the Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) that automatically sorts viable cells by their properties. Combining fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies as FACS reagents with this instrument, he made an enormous contribution towards the dramatic advancement of life sciences and clinical medicine.
