Charles A. Dinarello

American immunologist

Charles A. Dinarello is remembered in medicine for work that altered practice rather than merely argument.

The record lists Charles A. Dinarello as American immunologist.

Charles A. Dinarello was born at Boston in 1943. His recorded nationality is United States. He trained at Yale University.

Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.

His posts were held at University of Colorado Denver, Tufts University and University of Denver.

The recorded fields of work are medicine, immunology and cytokine.

Most medical progress is invisible: it shows up as an illness that no longer kills anyone.

Recognition followed: Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize (2010), Albany Medical Center Prize (2009), Ernst Jung Prize for Medicine (1993) and Novartis Prize for Clinical Immunology (2010).

That the work was done from United States matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
