How immunologist Max Cooper may have saved your life
IMMUNE RESPONSE
A half-century ago, Max Cooper made a historic discovery that forever changed our understanding of the human immune system. His breakthrough that the body has two separate kinds of lymphocytes, or white blood cells, to defend itself opened the door to a new world of treatments and vaccines. Now the Emory immunologist is being honored with a Lasker Award, America’s most prestigious biomedical research award, for his joint work on the discovery that has helped save countless lives.
