Hideyo Noguchi (1876-1928): Distinguished bacteriologist
Tan SY, Furubayashi J
Correspondence: Prof Tan Siang Yong, siang@hawaii.edu
SUMMARY
Hideyo Noguchi overcame significant adversity to become a physician-scientist – a humble origin and a crippling childhood injury render his achievements all the more extraordinary. In typical fashion, Noguchi attributed his success to pure diligence, saying, “There is no such thing as genius […] to work three, four, five times harder than anyone else, that is genius.”
