This is the most important scientist you’ve never heard of (but should have)
Pedro Cuatrecasas helped oversee the development of over 40 medications, including the best selling drug in history.
He also was instrumental to the invention of affinity chromatography at 32. This single breakthrough opened doors to isolating estrogen & insulin for the first time for diabetes & cancer therapies.
Cuatrecasas died earlier this year, yet there was no obituary, not a single article mentioned his name or the impact this scientist had in our world. Why don’t we know his name? It’s an important reminder to not just know the science but the incredible minds behind them.
