Description: (Danish Physician Who Won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for His Discovery of 'Spiroptera Carcinoma')
Johannes Andreas Grib Fibiger, a Danish physician and professor of anatomical pathology at the University of Copenhagen, received the 1926 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on Spiroptera carcinoma, later identified as Gongylonema neoplasticum. Initially, Fibiger's work suggested a connection between the roundworm and stomach cancer in rats and mice, but later studies showed his findings to be incorrect. Nevertheless, his research played a role in advancing experimental medicine and the establishment of controlled clinical trials in medical research.
