History and Influence
Harvard Medical School was established 1782 in Boston. Today, it is recognized world-wide for its extensive educational program, as well as advancements in medicine. HMS has produced two Nobel Prize Winners and twelve Nobel laureates, including the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize to Joseph E. Murray (with E. Donnall Thomas), who developed organ and cell transplant procedures for humans.
Other major discoveries include the 1954 development of tissue-culture study methodology which was applied to the study of viral diseases such as Polio. In 2004, HMS helped to explain humans' sense of smell when they discovered odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system.
