Biography of Pasteur

Louis Pasteur's Great Discoveries
Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822 in Dole, France. His discovery that most infectious diseases are caused by germs, known as the "germ theory of disease," is one of the most important discoveries in medical history. His work became the foundation for the science of microbiology, and his work gave birth to many other branches of science.

Pasteur solved the mysteries of rabies, anthrax, chicken cholera, and silkworm diseases, and contributed to the development of the first vaccines. He proved that the widely accepted theory of spontaneous generation was false. He also discovered and described the scientific principles behind fermentation, wine-making, and the brewing of beer. The mark of a brilliant scientist is founded upon mastery of the logical scientific process. Louis Pasteur was known for his ability to survey data, link the data to a hypothesis and conduct experiments in controlled conditions to prove his theory. Lastly, the genius of his discoveries was seen in his ability to uncover a solution from those results.

Pasteur's achievements seem wildly diverse at first glance, but a deeper look at the evolution of his career indicates that there is a logical order to his discoveries. He is revered for possessing the most important qualities of a scientist: the ability to survey all the known data and link the data for all possible hypotheses, the patience and drive to conduct experiments under strictly controlled conditions, and the brilliance to uncover the road to the solution from the results.

//"Imagination should give wings to our thoughts but we always need decisive experimental proof,// //and when the moment comes to draw conclusions and to interpret the gathered observations,// //imagination must be checked and documented by the factual results of the experiment."// -Louis Pasteur
