Yehuda Shoenfeld

Israeli physician

In the history of medicine, Yehuda Shoenfeld is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Yehuda Shoenfeld as Israeli physician.

Yehuda Shoenfeld was born at Topoľčany in 1948. His recorded nationality is Israel. He trained at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

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

His posts were held at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Tel Aviv University and Sheba Medical Center.

The recorded fields of work are autoimmune disease.

The test of medical work is whether practice changed, not whether the argument was elegant.

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