Appreciation An appreciation of Ralph Marvin Steinman (1943–2011) Carol L. Moberg Ralph Steinman, an editor at the Journal of Experimental Medicine since 1978, shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of dendritic cells (DCs) and their role in immunity. Ralph never knew. He died of pancreatic cancer on September 30, 3 days before the Nobel announcement. Unaware of his death at the time of their announce- ment, the Nobel Committee made the e n unprecedented decision that his award i c would stand. Ralph was the consum- i d mate physician-scientist to the end. e After his diagnosis, he actively partici- M pated in his 4.5 years of treatments, l creating experimental therapies using a t his own DCs in conjunction with the now known that this cell-mediated University as a postdoctoral fellow in n e therapies devised by his physicians, immunity involves T lymphocytes in the laboratory of Zanvil (Zan) Cohn, m all the while traveling, lecturing, and many different helper, cytotoxic, and the founder of modern macrophage ri most of all pursuing new investiga- suppressor forms, and that they are all biology.
