Renato Dulbecco and the Impact of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) on Cell Culture

Renato Dulbecco, a Nobel Prize-winning virologist, revolutionized cell culture by developing Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) in the 1950s. His modifications improved mammalian cell growth, making DMEM one of the most widely used media in biomedical research. Dulbecco’s contributions extend beyond cell culture, including pioneering studies on oncoviruses and cancer biology. His work remains fundamental to modern cell biology and medical advancements.
