Emil von Behring (German pronunciation:[ˈeːmiːlfɔnˈbeːʁɪŋ]ⓘ; Emil Adolf von Behring), born Emil Adolf Behring (15 March 1854 – 31 March 1917), was a German physiologist who received the 1901 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the first one awarded in that field, for his discovery of a diphtheria antitoxin. He was widely known as a "saviour of children", as diphtheria used to be a major cause of child death.[1] His work with the disease, as well as tetanus, has come to bring him most of his fame and acknowledgment.[2] He was honoured with Prussian nobility in 1901, henceforth being known by the surname "von Behring."
