Albert Wood

Albert Wood is a British scientist known for his pivotal role in the development of sildenafil citrate, a drug initially aimed at treating high blood pressure and angina, which later became the active ingredient in Viagra, a revolutionary medication for erectile dysfunction. His work, alongside colleague Peter Dunn, unintentionally led to the discovery of sildenafil's effects on erectile function, transforming it into a multi-billion dollar market and changing the perception of men's health issues.
