Ralph Steinman's posthumous 2011 Nobel Prize remembered

Original: Ralph M Steinman, who died OTD in 2011, received the Nobel Prize in 2011 for discoveries in # immunology https:// toilet

Canadian immunologist Ralph M. Steinman, who died on this day in 2011, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine that same year for his discovery of dendritic cells and their role in adaptive immunity. His death days before the announcement was unusual, as Nobel rules generally exclude posthumous awards, making his case a rare exception that still draws attention each year.

Why now: The anniversary of Steinman's death prompts renewed discussion of his landmark immunology work and his unusual posthumous Nobel.
