About
Ralph Marvin Steinman was born January 14, 1943, in Canada and became a physician and medical researcher at Rockefeller University. In 1973, working as a postdoctoral fellow in Zanvil A. Cohn's lab, he identified and named dendritic cells — a find that reframed how the immune system recognizes danger. The work earned him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He died September 30, 2011, three days before the announcement.
