Robert Koch
Robert Koch was a pioneering German physician and microbiologist whose discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus in 1882 laid the foundation for modern bacteriology and infectious disease treatment. His work in isolating the Mycobacterium tuberculosis not only advanced the understanding of tuberculosis but also earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1905, making significant contributions to public health and the field of microbiology.
