EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Robert Koch (1843-1910), the esteemed German doctor and microbiologist who revolutionized the understanding and diagnosis of tuberculosis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Clausthal near Hanover, Koch's groundbreaking research led to the discovery of the bacillus that causes tuberculosis, now known as Koch's bacillus, in 1882. This discovery paved the way for the development of tuberculin, a diagnostic tool that significantly improved the ability to identify and treat this once-mysterious disease. Koch's contributions to the medical world were recognized with the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1905. In this evocative image, we see a distinguished Koch, with his bushy beard and moustache, donning glasses as he peers intently over his scientific instruments. The engraving, capturing the essence of a contemporary scientific researcher, underscores the importance of his work and the profound impact it had on the field of medicine. Born in the 19th century, Koch's pioneering work bridged the gap between the old and new eras of medical discovery. His legacy continues to shape our understanding of tuberculosis and the importance of microbiology in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This portrait is a testament to the enduring significance of Koch's scientific achievements and his place in the annals of medical history.
