The article covers Roger Guillemin's life and career in neuroendocrinology recognising Guillemin as "not only a visionary, but also a remarkable talent-spotter who surrounded himself with the brightest scientists, many of whom have, in turn, become leaders in Neuroendocrinology."
In 1977, Roger Guillemin "received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with Andrew Schally, for “their discoveries concerning the production of peptide hormones by the brain,” and with Rosalyn Yalow for “the development of radioimmunoassays for peptide hormones.” "
The article ends:
"Roger Guillemin will be missed but his name and contribution to Science, Medicine, and Neuroendocrinology will stay forever."
