Eminent NIHers Gallery

NIH researchers have made major contributions to health and basic medical science for more than 100 years.  These include more than 20 winners of the Nobel Prize, more than 30 winners of the Lasker Award, and more than 200 members of the prestigious U.S. National Academies.  The NIH Legends Collection is a project to gather oral, video, and peer-reviewed written histories, obituaries, biographies, and photographs of these remarkable individuals. 

The cards below include the dates the individual was active at the NIH, their Institute or Center, prestigious awards, and research topics. Please click on these cards to learn more about their work and access further resources. 

We hope this growing collection provides a more in-depth perspective of a select group of NIH researchers of years past.  For a complete list of active NIH principal investigators, refer to https://irp.nih.gov/pi.

Please note that NIH History Office does not own most of the resources gathered in this collection, and many items may be copyrighted.
