Johannes Andreas Grib Fibiger, a Danish physician and professor of anatomical pathology at the University of Copenhagen, was awarded the 1926 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on Spiroptera carcinoma, later identified as Gongylonema neoplasticum. Initially, his work suggested a connection between the roundworm and stomach cancer in rodents, but further studies disproved his findings. Nevertheless, Fibiger’s research played a role in advancing experimental medicine and the establishment of controlled clinical trials in medical research.
