		And here was Yersin, struggling to get his suitcases off the train, head down as he beetled toward his first appointment, the glinting sunshine on the pale stone of the buildings little more than a distraction from the main business: his transformation from darkly intense scientific amateur to practiced and increasingly intuitive medical technician.

		In 1883 and in the following 40 years, Emile Roux became closely involved with the creation of what was to be the Pasteur Institute, and shared his time between biomedical research and administrative duties.
		In the same year, he published with Alexandre Yersin (1863-1943) the first of his classical works on the causation of diphtheria by the Klebs-Loeffler bacillus, then an extremely prevalent and lethal disease, particularly among children.
		He studied its toxin and its properties, and began in 1891 to develop an effective serum to treat the disease, following the demonstration, by Emil Adolf von Behring (1854-1917) and Shibasaburo Kitasato (1852-1931) that antibodies against the diphtheric toxin could be produced in animals.
