Leonard Arthur Herzenberg

Immunologist and Geneticist

Dr. Leonard Arthur Herzenberg took the lead in developing a flow cytometer called the Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) that automatically sorts viable cells by their properties. Combining fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies as FACS reagents with this instrument, he made an enormous contribution towards the dramatic advancement of life sciences and clinical medicine.
