Biography

About

Jules Jean Baptiste Vincent Bordet was born on 13 June 1870 in Belgium. Working as an immunologist and microbiologist, he unraveled the mechanisms of immunity at a time when the body's defenses were still opaque. His discoveries on how the immune system neutralizes threats earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1919. A bacterial genus, Bordetella, carries his name. He died on 6 April 1961.
