Famous For: Classified organisms into a Ladder of Life Aristotle is forever linked with philosophy and logic. Few associate him with biology and medicine. His work on the classification of living things was still in use up to the 19th century. He differentiated them by calling animals and plants as he saw them, with blood, without blood, and so on Famous For: Blind experimental method for objective results has been considered one of the greatest of all men of science. He fostered the use of blind experiments in order to produce objective results. He also believed that vivisection, the use of surgery on a living thing for knowledge, was useful in the study and practice of medicine. was a French surgeon and biologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1912 for pioneering vascular suturing techniques. He invented the first perfusion pump with Charles A. Lindbergh opening the way to organ transplantation. Theory of Evolution Darwin was considered a naturalist. As a biologist, he proposed the concept that all species of life came from a single source. His theory of evolution marked the beginning of the discussion on natural selection. was a German physician and scientist who worked in the fields of hematology, immunology, and chemotherapy. He invented the precursor technique to Gram staining bacteria, tissue made it possible to distinguish between different type of blood cells, which led to the capability to diagnose numerous blood diseases. as a British biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who made critical contributions to the understanding of the fine molecular structures of DNA (deoxyribonucleic [2] acid), RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. Her DNA work achieved the most fame because DNA plays an essential role in cell metabolism and genetics, and the discovery of its structure helped her co-workers understand how genetic information is passed from parents to their offspring.

Edgardo D. Gomez Filipino

is a world-renowed marine biologist and professor emeritus of the University of the Philippines (UP), Marine Science Institute (MSI) in Diliman, Quezon City. He was acknowledged because of his exceptional research triumphs on marine ecosystems that serve as foundation for the supervision and protection programs for the countrys ocean and marine resources.
Famous For: Coined the term cell Born on 1635 in the Isle of Wight, England, Robert Hooke received his higher education at Oxford University where he studied physics and chemistry. His work included the application what is known today as Hookes law, his use of microscopy, and for the discovery of the cell in 1665 using cork and a microscope. Dutch physiologist, biologist and chemist. He is best known for showing that light is essential to photosynthesis and thus having [1][2][3] discovered photosynthesis. He also discovered

Bienvenido O. Juliano Filipino

is a National Scientist who focused on the properties of starch and protein in relation to rice grain quality. He is one of the 1964 TOYM Awardees for Science. He was in charge of grain quality research at the International Rice Research Institute from 1961-1993 and contributed much to the basic knowledge in differences between varieties of grain quality of rice.
considered to be the founder of modern bacteriology, is known for his role in identifying the specific causative agents of tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax and for giving experimental support for the concept of infectious [1] disease. In addition to his pioneering studies on these diseases, Koch created and improved significant laboratory technologies and techniques in the field of microbiology, and made a number of key discoveries pertaining to public health Famous For: The Father of Microbiology Antoine Philips van Leeuwenhoek was born in Delft, Netherlands in 1632. His interest in lensmaking and curiosity led him to be the first to observe single cell organisms. He is considered a biologist and microscopist which has earned him the distinction of being the father of microbiology. Famous For: Modern Genetics When he wrote Experiments on Plant Hybridization, he paved the way for biology students to study genetic traits in peas. During his experiments, Gregor found that a specific trait would be dominant over other traits in the same species. This became to be recognized as the Mendelian inheritance. is an American physician and evolutionary biologist. He is notable for his research on evolutionary psychology and evolutionary medicine, as well as the evolutionary origins of emotions and how natural selection shapes the capacity for mood.

Baldomero Olveria, Jr
Filipino

Baldomero Olivera, Jr. has conducted research in the fields of molecular biology and biochemistry and he has isolated key DNA enzymes. His discovery of Conus peptides may lead to drugs for pain and nervous system disorders.
Famous For: Created the process of pasteurization for treating milk and wine As one of the founders of medical microbiology, Louis Pasteurs education in the field of chemistry and microbiology may be credited with his success. His germ theory of disease became the catalyst to his process we know as pasteurization.

Eduardo Quisumbing

Eduardo Quisumbing is an authority of Philippine plants. He has published numerous

papers, many concerning medicinal plants, like orchids. He has received many awards, like the Distinguished Service Star (botany) and the Diploma of Merit (Orchidology) is the first Filipina Molecular Microbiologist to pioneer the application ofbiotechnology in the Philippines. Dr. Raymundo found a way to discriminate local prevalent pathogen strains like Ralstonia solanacearum and Xanthomonas oryzae to allow selection of the appropriate variety resistant to this strain for planting.
American medical researcher and virologist, best known for his discovery and development of the first successful polio vaccine. Baltic German biologist who worked in the fields of muscular physiology, animal behaviour studies, and the cybernetics of life. However, his most notable contribution is the notion of umwelt, used by semiotician Thomas Sebeok and philosopher Martin Heidegger. His works established biosemiotics as a field of research. Famous For: On the Fabric of the Human Body Born in Brussels, Habsburg Netherlands in 1514, Andreas Vesalius is the noted author of one of the earliest books on anatomy, On the Fabric of the Human Body. He is considered as the founder of modern human anatomy. He served as the royal physician under Emperor Charles V and as professor at the University of Padua in Italy. Ukrainian-born American inventor, biochemist and microbiologist whose research into organic substances largely into organisms that live in soiland their decomposition promoted the discovery of Streptomycin, and several other antibiotics. A professor of biochemistry and microbiology at Rutgers University for four decades, he discovered over twenty antibiotics (a word which he coined) and introduced procedures that have led to the development of many others. English zoologist, prolific writer, bookseller and naturalist admired by his contemporaries for his [1] precise scientific work. Yarrell is best known as the author of The History of British Fishes

is known for his works on plant anatomymorphology, pteridophyte biology, and the preservation of environment and natural resources policy study. His work on the xylem elements on vascular plants is the basis for the formulation of the two-phase wall deposition concept which was now accepted universally.
