Ralph M. Steinman, a Canadian physician and medical researcher, made significant contributions to the field of immunology during his time at Rockefeller University. In 1973, he discovered and named dendritic cells while working in Zanvil A. Cohn’s laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow. This groundbreaking work ultimately earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2011. Steinman’s research on dendritic cells has had a lasting impact on our understanding of the immune system and its role in combating diseases.
