Maurice Hilleman, a renowned American microbiologist specializing in vaccinology, is celebrated as one of the most influential vaccinologists in history. Known as the “father of modern vaccines,” Hilleman and his team developed over 40 vaccines, including eight out of the 14 vaccines on the American schedule, such as those for measles, mumps, and hepatitis.
