Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist. He is well known for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurisation. He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases, and his discoveries have saved countless lives ever since. Pasteur reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. His medical discoveries provided direct support for the germ theory of disease and its application in clinical medicine.

LOUIS PASTEUR

"Fortune favours the prepared mind.
Do not let yourself be tainted with a barren skepticism.
The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences.
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity."
