Details
for Red Cross blood donations Dr. Karl Landsteiner (1868-1943), was an Austrian biologist, physician, and immunologist. He distinguished the main blood groups in 1900, having developed the modern system of classification of blood groups from his identification of the presence of agglutinins in the blood, and identified, with Alexander S. Wiener, the Rhesus factor, in 1937, thus enabling physicians to transfuse blood without endangering the patient's life. With Constantin Levaditi and Erwin Popper, he discovered the polio virus in 1909. In 1930, he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. he was posthumously awarded the Lasker Award in 1946, and has been described as the father of transfusion medicine.
