Albert Einstein

 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955)

 scientists
 Best known for developing the theory of relativity, Einstein also made important contributions
to quantum mechanics, and was thus a central figure in the revolutionary reshaping of the
scientific understanding of nature that modern physics accomplished in the first decades of
the twentieth century.
 He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and
especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect",[7] a pivotal step in the
development of quantum theory. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of
science.

Niels Henrik David Bohr

 7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962)
 Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic
structure and quantum theory
 Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels
of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic
nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another.
 He conceived the principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analyzed in
terms of contradictory properties, like behaving as a wave or a stream of particles.

Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaitre

 17 July 1894 – 20 June 1966)
 was a Belgian Catholic priest, theoretical physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and
professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain.
 He was the first to theorize that the recession of nearby galaxies can be explained by
an expanding universe,[2] which was observationally confirmed soon afterwards by Edwin
Hubble.
 Lemaitre also proposed the "Big Bang theory" of the origin of the universe, calling it the
"hypothesis of the primeval atom",[9] and later calling it "the beginning of the world"

Sir Alexander Fleming

 (6 August 1881 – 11 March 1955)
 was a Scottish physician and microbiologist
 best known for discovering the world's first broadly effective antibiotic substance, which he
named penicillin.
 His discovery in 1928 of what was later named benzylpenicillin (or penicillin G) from the
mould Penicillium rubens has been described as the "single greatest victory ever achieved
over disease".
 In 1999, he was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th
century

Jane Cooke Wright

 also known as "Jane Jones"

 November 20, 1919 – February 19, 2013
 was a pioneering cancer researcher and surgeon noted for her contributions
to chemotherapy
 In particular, Wright is credited with developing the technique of using human tissue
culture rather than laboratory mice to test the effects of potential drugs on cancer cells. She
also pioneered the use of the drug methotrexate to treat breast cancer and skin
cancer (mycosis fungoids).
 1949, Dr. Wright joined her father at the Cancer Research Foundation at Harlem Hospital.
During her time at the research institute, she and her father sparked an interest in
chemotherapeutic agents.

Andre Konstantin Geim

 born 21 October 1958
 is a Russian-born Dutch–British physicist
 working in England in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester.
[20]

 Geim was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Konstantin Novoselov for his
work on graphene.

Gero Hütter
 (born 18 December 1968)
 is a German hematologist
 Hütter and his medical team transplanted bone marrow deficient in a key HIV receptor to
a leukemia patient
