Paperback. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. The renowned AIDS researcher Robert Gallo tells his story of scientific breakthrough in a riveting portrait of the people, the politics, and the pace of modern scientific discovery.

Condition: Fine in about fine jacket. dj. First printing. Inscribed first edition of this personal account of the events leading up to and following the discovery of the AIDS virus, by its co-discoverer. A multifaceted book - part memoir, part science-writing - by the cofounder and director of the Institute of Human Virology, and the most cited scientist in the world between 1980 and 1990. Gallo was the head of the Labratory of Tumor Cell Biology at NIH's National Cancer Institute when he published the set of journal papers that identified the retrovirus that would eventually be known as HIV. His papers correctly identified the virus as the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). He and his team also pioneered the development of the HIV blood test that would allow healthcare professionals to conduct screenings for the virus. Some controversy followed the publication of the Gallo papers when DNA tests showed that the same strain of retrovirus was discovered by French virologists a year prior to the discovery by Gallo and his team. A lawsuit over the patent over the development of the HIV-antibody test would follow, ending in an agreement to "divide the scientific credit and patent royalties from all HIV work and the blood test that detected it" (Markel). VIRUS HUNTING contains Gallo's side of the story, in what was his first time speaking out about the controversy. A clean copy, warmly inscribed. 9.25'' x 6''.
