EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual brilliance and determination of Sir Ronald Ross, a pioneering figure in the history of tropical medicine. Born in Almora, India, in 1857, Ross dedicated his life to understanding the mysterious link between mosquitoes and human malaria. His groundbreaking discovery, made in 1897, revolutionized the medical world and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1902. In 1899, Ross assumed the esteemed position of Professor of Tropical Medicine at the University of Liverpool, where he continued his research and shared his knowledge with a new generation of scientists. Ross's travels took him across the globe, from India to Egypt, to advise governments and communities on malarial control. His work was instrumental in the importation and implementation of effective malaria prevention methods, such as the use of mosquito nets and the elimination of standing water where mosquitoes breed. This photograph, taken in 1932, captures Ross in the later years of his illustrious career. The image is a testament to his enduring legacy and the profound impact he had on the scientific community. Ross's work laid the foundation for the eradication of malaria as a major global health threat, and his contributions continue to inspire researchers and medical professionals today. This evocative portrait, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of a true scientific pioneer and a reminder of the importance of curiosity, determination, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge in advancing human health and understanding the world around us.
