George Kohler

George Köhler was a German scientist renowned for developing the technology to produce monoclonal antibodies, which are identical immune proteins used widely in medicine and research. His work involved creating a method to produce specific antibodies in the laboratory, enabling precise targeting of diseases like cancer and infections. Köhler's innovation revolutionized biomedical research and diagnostics, earning him and César Milstein the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1984. His contributions have had a lasting impact on immunology and the development of targeted therapies.
