Maurice Ralph Hilleman


In the course of 1957 Hilleman en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Hilleman joined Merck as head of its new Virus and Cell Biology Research department, in West Point, Pennsylvania. What followed was prodigious. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150172 It was at Merck that Hilleman developed most of the forty experimental and licensed animal and human vaccines with which he is credited. On the fourteenth vaccine routinely recommended in current vaccine schedules, he developed eight: those for measles, mumps, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, chickenpox, meningitis, pneumonia, and Haemophilus influenzae bacteria. In 1963, his daughter Jeryl Lunn came down with the mumps. Hilleman cultivated viral material from her and used it as the basis of mumps vaccine. The Jeryl Lynn strain of the mumps vaccine is still used today. Hilleman and his team invented a vaccine for hepatitis B by treating blood serum with pepsin, urea, and formaldehyde. This was licensed in 1981 (though superseded in the United States in 1986 by a vaccine that was produced in yeast) and was still the preferred option in 150 countries as recently as 2003 ~ Page 225
