Hi All
I have just read this in the obituaries column of the
Telegraph. Although everybody did not agree with all of their theoretical analysis
Yalow and Berson were pioneers in the field if immunoassay a technique which
has had such a profound effect in our laboratories. Interestingly the article
states that even though they realised the commercial potential they refused to
patent the method and made every effort to get the technique into common use .
True scientists.
