Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822 in Dole, France. He married to Marie Laurent and had five children; four girls and a boy. He graduated in 1842 from Besancon College with honors in physics, mathematics, Latin, and a first prize for drawing. He also attended Ecole Normale to study physics and chemistry. In 1849, he became a chemistry professor in Strasbourg.
In 1881, Pasteur began to study rabies. He spent long hours in his laboratory seeking a vaccine to prevent rabies. One day in 1885, a dog infected with rabies bit a small boy named Joseph Meister. The boy's parents begged Pasteur to save their son. Pasteur hesitated to use his new vaccine on a human, but he finally accepted. After a few weeks of treatment, the vaccine worked. The boy did not get rabies.
The Pasteur Institute was opened in his honour in 1888, and Louis Pasteur served as director of the institute until his death on September 28,1895.
