Maurice Raben - Known for extracting and purifying human growth hormone for medical use.

Maurice Raben was a pioneering scientist known for his work in extracting and purifying human growth hormone (HGH) for medical applications. His research significantly advanced our understanding of this hormone, which plays a crucial role in growth and metabolism. By developing methods to obtain HGH from human pituitary glands, Raben made it possible to treat conditions related to growth hormone deficiency. His contributions have had a lasting impact on endocrinology and the treatment of growth disorders, improving the quality of life for many individuals with these conditions.
