Biographical / Historical
Pioneers in the study of genetics, Lee and Len Herzenberg came to Stanford in 1959 to join the newly created genetics department
run by Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg. They would go on to develop the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) and monoclonal
antibodies that are widely used as reagents in life science research and are models for the therapeutic antibodies used in
several diseases. This work was awarded the 2006 Kyoto Prize. http://library.stanford.edu/blogs/special-collections-unbound/2018/03/archives-acquires-records-herzenberg-lab
