I was born in 1925, in New York City, the second of three children of Meyer and Ida Blumberg. My grandparents came to the United States from Europe at the end of the 19th century. They were members of an immigrant group who had enormous confidence in the possibilities of their adopted country. I received my elementary education at the Yeshiva of Flatbush, a Hebrew parochial school, and, at an early age, in addition to a rigorous secular education, learned the Hebrew Testament in the original language. We spent many hours on the rabbinic commentaries on the Bible and were immersed in the existential reasoning of the Talmud at an age when we could hardly have realized its impact. After attending Far Rockaway High School I joined the U.S. Navy in 1943 and finished college under military auspices. I was commissioned as a Deck Officer, served on landing ships, and was the commanding officer of one of these when I left active duty in 1946. My interest in the sea remained. In later years I made several trips as a merchant seaman, held a ticket as a Ships Surgeon, and, while in medical school, occasionally served as a semiprofessional hand on sailing ships. Sea experience placed a great emphasis on detailed problem solving, on extensive planning before action, and on the arrangement of alternate methods to effect an end.

Blumberg, M.D., Ph.D. Senior Advisor to the President The research, discoveries and vision of Nobel laureate Baruch S. Blumberg, M.D., Ph.D., have had a far-reaching impact on public health around the globe. He has been responsible for major insights into the pathogenesis and prevention of hepatitis B infection-endemic in many populous nations, especially in Asia and Africa-and the fatal liver diseases associated with it. These include primary cancer of the liver, or primary hepatocellular carcinoma: one of the world's three most deadly cancers, with death often occurring less than a year after diagnosis. Worldwide, primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in men and the eleventh most common cancer in women. Dr. Blumberg was awarded the 1976 Nobel Prize in medicine for his 1967 discovery of the hepatitis B virus and he has received many subsequent honors, including election to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. A member of Fox Chase Cancer Center's staff since 1964, he was named to his current role as the first Fox Chase Distinguished Scientist and senior adviser to the Center president in February 1989. From October 1989 until 1994, Blumberg was also master of Balliol College at England's Oxford University, where he received his doctorate in biochemistry in 1957.

Blumberg and his colleagues discovered the hepatitis B virus in 1967, and soon after developed the first blood test.  Blumberg and Irving Millman, Ph.D., invented the first hepatitis B vaccine in 1969.  Blumberg won the 1976 Nobel Prize in medicine for this work. Since then, he has provided major insights into the development and prevention of the hepatitis B infection and the fatal liver diseases associated with it. In Blumberg's award letter from Joan M. Block, R.N., president of the Hepatitis B Foundation, she says, "We are very proud to honor you for a lifetime of outstanding scientific research and for your major role in inspiring us to start the Foundation!"  The Hepatitis B Foundation is a nonprofit volunteer organization, based in Doylestown, PA.  The Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for chronic hepatitis B (

PRINCETON University Press SEARCH: Keywords Author Title More Options Power Search Search Hints E-MAIL NOTICES NEW IN PRINT E-BOOKS ... HOME PAGE Hepatitis B: The Hunt for a Killer Virus Baruch S. Blumberg Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format] About 375 million people are infected with the hepatitis B virus. It has killed more people than AIDS and also causes millions of cases of liver cancer. The discovery of this deadly virus and the vaccine against ita vaccine that is sharply decreasing the infection rate worldwide and is probably the first effective cancer vaccinewas one of the great triumphs of twentieth-century medicine. And it almost didn't happen. With wit and insight, this scientific memoir and story of discovery describes how Baruch Blumberg and a team of researchers found a virus they were not looking for and created a vaccine for a disease they previously knew little aboutwork that took the author around the world and won him the Nobel Prize. Blumberg and his collaborators were investigating relationships between gene distribution and disease susceptibility, research that was yielding interesting data but no real breakthroughs. Many viewed their work as more field trip than science. But, through decades of hard work and investigative twists and turns, their pursuit led to the hepatitis B antigen, the elusive virus itself, and, ultimately, the vaccine. As he takes the reader through the detective work that culminated in his incredible discovery, the author recounts with immediacy exciting moments in the lab and in the fieldfrom a hair-raising flight to Africa to an unpleasant encounter with Alaskan sled dogs.

Blumberg Book Description Table of Contents Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format] ADDITIONAL REVIEWS: "This book shows that it is not the orderly, directed research program that leads to the Nobel, but rather the workings of the orderly, observant mind. . . . If poetry is a free-ranging , idealized representation of an idea, than this is poetry . . . and poetry should be read regularly for relaxation, for inspiration, and for ideas."Paul J. Schmidt, New England Journal of Medicine "Readers will find much to enjoy and absorb in Blumberg's fascinating personal story."Robin A. Weiss, Science ENDORSEMENTS: Hepatitis B is one of the world's most common virusesand one of the top ten killers. Unlike much else in our often gloom-filled world, it looks likely that HBV will be effectively controlled, and possibly eradicated, within the next decade. If so, Baruch Blumberg will deserve a large share of the credit. But this book is much more than a scientific success story. It vividly conveys the existential adventure of science: the surprises, disappointments, exhilaration, and dull routines whose results serve us all so well."Robert M. May, President of the Royal Society "A thoroughly engaging history of one of the most important medical discoveries of the century, recounted with keen insight, lively wit, and remarkable humility. Rarely is one afforded such an opportunity to learn firsthand from a world-class scientist how new paradigms in biology result from relentless questioning and intellectual passion."Jerome Groopman, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, author of
