Biography
Cesar Milstein (1927-2002) was an Argentinian biochemist whose studies on antibody research earned him a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1984 (alongside Niels Kaj Jerne and Georges J.F. Kohler). Completing his Ph.D. at the University of Buenos Aires, Milstein earned a grant from the British Council to work at the University of Cambridge's Darwin College. The majority of his life's research was dedicated to studying the structure of anitbodies and the mechanism by which antibody diversity is generated; it was this study that led to the development of the hybridoma technique for the production of monoclonal antibodies, the discovery that was recognized by the 1984 Nobel Prize.
