  • Curriculum Vitae Prof. Dr. John Franklin Enders
    Curriculum Vitae Prof. Dr. John Franklin Enders Name: John Franklin Enders Lebensdaten: 10. Februar 1897 ‐ 8. September 1985 John F. Enders war ein amerikanischer Virologe und Bakteriologe. Er war maßgeblich an der Erfor‐ schung und Entwicklung moderner Impfstoffe beteiligt. Gemeinsam mit Frederick Chapman Robbins und Thomas Huckle Weller entdeckte er die Fähigkeit des Poliovirus, in Kulturen verschiedener Ge‐ webstypen zu wachsen. Damit wurde es erstmals möglich, einen wirksamen Impfstoff gegen Kinder‐ lähmung herzustellen. Für diese Leistung wurden Enders und seine beiden Kollegen 1954 mit dem Nobelpreis für Physiologie oder Medizin ausgezeichnet. Werdegang John Enders‘ Ausbildungsweg war lang und kurvenreich: Er begann 1915 ein Studium an der Yale University, das er wegen des Ersten Weltkriegs unterbrechen musste, um als Pilot in der US‐ Luftwaffe zu dienen. 1920 schloss er sein Studium mit dem akademischen Grad eines Bachelors ab. Im Anschluss arbeitete er als Grundstücksmakler. Eine Tätigkeit, die ihn ebenso wenig befriedigte wie ein später angeschlossenes Literatur‐ und Sprachenstudium, mit dem er eigentlich eine Laufbahn als Englischlehrer angestrebt hatte. Schließlich nahm er in Yale ein Studium der Bakteriologie und Im‐ munologie auf, das er 1930 mit der Dissertation abschloss. Im Anschluss war er bis 1946 an der Yale University tätig. Neben seinen Forschungen an Mykobakterien widmete er sich der Erforschung der Pneumokokken. Seine erste Arbeit auf dem Gebiet der Virologie erschien 1939. Danach befasste er sich fast aus‐ schließlich mit Viren und untersuchte unter anderem den Wert der Gewebekulturtechnik für die Virenvermehrung. Ein wesentlicher Erfolg gelang ihm auf dem Gebiet der serologischen Technik zum Nachweis von Antikörpern des Mumpsvirus. Dazu verwendete er erstmalig ein Anti‐Gen aus infizier‐ tem Parotisgewebe von infizierten Affen.

Jamir Governor, Odisha Raj Bhawan Bhubaneswar-751 008 August 13, 2013 EMSSSEM I am glad to know that the School of Chemistry, Sambalpur University, like previous years is organizing a Seminar on "Nobel Prize" on August 24, 2013. The Nobel Prize instituted on the lines of its mentor and founder Alfred Nobel's last will to establish a series of prizes for those who confer the “greatest benefit on mankind’ is widely regarded as the most coveted international award given in recognition to excellent work done in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The Prize since its introduction in 1901 has a very impressive list of winners and each of them has their own story of success. It is heartening that a seminar is being organized annually focusing on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Nobel laureates of that particular year. The initiative is indeed laudable as it will help teachers as well as students a lot in knowing more about the works of illustrious recipients and drawing inspiration to excel and work for the betterment of mankind. I am sure the proceeding to be brought out on the occasion will be highly enlightening.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES JOHN FRANKLIN E NDERS 1897—1985 A Biographical Memoir by TH O M A S H. WELLER AND F R E D E R I C K C . R Obb INS Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1991 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. JOHN FRANKLIN ENDERS February 10, 1891-September 8, 1985 BY THOMAS H. WELLER AND FREDERICK C. ROBBINS HE INVESTIGATIVE CAREER of John Enders comprised Tthree phases. For eight years he focused on pathogenic bacteria, in particular the pneumococcus. Switching in 1939 to the study of viruses, he refined tissue culture techniques for the study of viruses in vitro and made significant discov- eries regarding mumps. This work prepared the way for the cultivation in 1949 of the polio viruses in non-nervous tissues, for which he was the corecipient of the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Never one to rest on his laurels, End- ers turned his focus to measles. This work led to the eventual production of a measles vaccine. By 1959, however, his re- search focus had shifted once again, this time to the problem of viral host-cell resistance and viral oncogenesis—the sub- ject of the final segment of a magnificently productive inves- tigative career. EDUCATION AND EARLY CAREER John Franklin Enders was born February 10, 1897, in West Hartford, Connecticut. His father headed the Hartford National Bank, and he was the first of four children in a family whose economic means were, as he once observed, "above average." Raised in a family whose business centered on finance and trade, he had little contact with science as a 47 48 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS boy.
