ResumoWhile he did not discover the scientific principles of vaccination, he was the first scientist to use the scientific approach to conduct scientific investigation. 9Today, many individuals are now aware of the complexities and considerations that must be made when developing a new (or new type) of vaccine. 9The vaccine was such a godsend that in fact, vaccinations became entrenched as a routine operation in local communities because of early governmental enthusiasm for and legislation around the practice. 9Such discoveries led to one significant discovery after the other, scientists drawing inspiration from one another.0][11][12] He studied anthrax, with the goal of proving how anthrax was spread and how it made people or animals sick. 12Later in 1885, he and Emile Roux developed and tested the first rabies vaccine on a 9-year-old boy named Joseph Meister. 11 Early biotechnology historyWhile these discoveries capture the power and capabilities of biotechnology, the term itself had not been coined until 1919 by Karl Ereky, a Hungarian agricultural engineer. 12-37His definition of 'biotechnology' did not endure, as scientists would eventually define it as "application of the principles of engineering and biological science to create new products from raw materials of biological origin, for example, vaccines or food." 37In 1928, Alexander Fleming had discovered penicillin while sorting through his petri dishes containing colonies of Staphylococcus. 30Another landmark discovery was made in the field of agriculture -the breeding of hybrid corn.In 1933, the first hybrid corn was commercialized by George Carter. 27Entrepreneur Eugine Funk and his family started the Funk Brothers Seed Company, becoming one of the first seed companies at the beginning of the 20th century. 27Beginning in the 1970s, the field of biotechnology begins to flourish and thrive -Stanley Cohen
