Baruch Blumberg: A biologist who discovered the hepatitis B virus, which proved to be a cause of liver cancer. This was one of the viral carcinogens that the NCI had fruitlessly searched for. He is the co-recipient of the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (with Daniel Carleton Gajdusek), and the President of the American Philosophical Society from 2005 until his death.
