Google honors microbiologist Robert Koch.
On Sunday, Google turned its logo into a tribute to Robert
Koch, who received the Nobel Prize on this day in 1905.
Robert Heinrich Hermann Koch ( 11 December 1843 – 27 May
1910) was a German physician and microbiologist. As the founder of modern
bacteriology, he is known for his role in identifying the specific causative
agents of tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax and for giving experimental
support for the concept of infectious disease.
In addition to his innovative studies on these diseases,
which involved experimenting on humans, Koch created and improved laboratory
technologies and techniques in the field of microbiology, and made key
discoveries in public health.
His research led to the creation of Koch's postulates, a
series of four generalized principles linking specific microorganisms to
specific diseases that remain today the "gold standard" in medical
microbiology. As a result of his groundbreaking research on tuberculosis, Koch
received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1905. The Robert Koch
Institute is named in his honour.
In general, as explained by Google, Koch has identified the
bacterium, which includes anthrax, cholera and tuberculosis.
So Google's recognition of the scientist who has spent his
life researching germs is a great and worthwhile job.
Other information about Robert Koch:
In 1897, Koch was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal
Society (ForMemRS).In 1905, Koch won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine
for his work with tuberculosis. In 1906, research on tuberculosis and tropical
diseases won him the Prussian Order Pour le Merite and in 1908, the Robert Koch
medal, established to honour the greatest living physicians.
Koch's name is one of twenty-three, from the fields of
hygiene and tropical medicine, featured on the frieze of the London School of
Hygiene & Tropical Medicine building in Keppel Street, Bloomsbury.
A large marble statue of Koch stands in a small park known
as Robert Koch Platz, just north of the Charity Hospital, in the Mitte section
of Berlin. His life was the subject of a 1939 German produced motion picture
that featured Oscar winning actor Emil Jannings in the title role. On December
10th, 2017 Google showed a Doodle in celebration of Robert Koch's birthday.
