Gerald Edelman was an American biologist and neuroscientist who made significant contributions to the fields of immunology and neurobiology. He is best known for his work on the structure and function of antibodies, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1972, along with his colleague Rodney Porter. Edelman’s research particularly focused on the immune system and how antibodies are produced by B cells.
