Louis Pasteur
Germ theory and vaccines
French chemist and microbiologist (1822-1895).
He proved that microbes cause disease and spoilage, invented pasteurization, and developed vaccines for anthrax and rabies — famously saving a boy bitten by a rabid dog. His work founded modern medicine's fight against infection.
