César Milstein

César Milstein was a renowned scientist who, along with his colleagues, developed a method to produce identical antibodies called monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies are crucial tools in medicine for diagnosing and treating diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders. Milstein's work revolutionized immunology by enabling precise targeting of specific cells or molecules. He received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1984 for this achievement, which has had a profound impact on healthcare and biomedical research.
