  Pierre Paul Émile Roux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roux got his baccalaureate in sciences in 1871 and started his studies in 1872 at the Medical School of Clermont-Ferrand.
Roux was now recognized as an expert in the nascent sciences of medical microbiology and immunology.
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.

It has taken a century, however, for Roux's contribution to Pasteur's work—specifically his experiments utilizing dead bacteria to vaccinate against rabies—to be acknowledged.
Roux is also credited, along with Alexandre Yersin, with the discovery of the diphtheria toxin secreted by Corynebacterium diphtheriae and immunization against the disease in humans.

Metchnikoff, whom Roux described as "this 45-year old from the heart of Europe, with an impassioned face, blazing eyes, untidy hair, definitely with the air of the demon of science", and finally doctor Roux himself, the student so devoted to the Master.
Roux, who was a severe character, a sort of secular saint, reinforced this style of leadership by giving the Institute a sense of hierarchy, a slightly cold military aspect.
As Roux's assistant, he worked with the latter on diphtheria, and he proved the existence and the role of the "poison", the first known toxin.

Emile Roux, who sat at Flavia's right, was a man in middle life and quite bald, clearly without personal vanity, though his publishers preferred to circulate only those of his portraits taken in his ambrosial youth.
On the night of his arrival Jules Martel had enthusiastically declared, "There are schools and schools, manners and manners; but Roux is Roux, and Paris sets its watches by his clock." Flavia bad already repeated this remark to Imogen.
Hamilton and M. Roux repaired to the smoking room to discuss the necessity of extending the tax on manufactured articles in France--one of those conversations which particularly exasperated Flavia.

 The Pasteur Institute
Only a few important germs remained undiscovered: the bacillus causing the bubonic plague would be identified by Alexander Yersin, anaerobic bacteria would be studied by M. Weinberg, and useful bacteria that live in the soil would be researched by Sergei Winogradsky all at the institute.
Two of Pasteur's disciples, Emile Roux and Yersin, learned that certain bacteria, such as the diphtheria and tetanus bacilli, kill living beings, especially humans, because these bacilli excrete extremely virulent poisons called toxins.
As director, he was succeeded by Emile Duclaux (1895-1904), Emile Roux (1904-33), and then Louis Martin (1934-40).

 Book Review -- The Private Science of Louis Pasteurby Gerald L. Geison - The Body
At the same time, Emile Roux, Pasteur's able physician colleague, had been working with a killed vaccine produced by desiccating the spinal cords of infected rabbits.
He allowed the scientific community to believe that the vaccine injected into Joseph Meister was an "attenuated" one; his lab notes, however, reveal that he used Roux's desiccated spinal cord process.
Roux apparently decided the risk of causing rabies by possible inadequate inactivation of the infectious spinal cord tissue was too high.

The lymph contained substantial nutrients (greater than Roux’s saline solutions) to maintain the nerve cells in vitro for longer periods of time and to allow the cells to grow.

 Roux Family Crest
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Jean Rioux settled in Quebec from Brittany in 1677; Claude Rioux settled in Louisiana in 1719; Jean Roux arrived in Quebec from Saintonge in 1683; near Bordeaux, which might have been the embarkation point rather than his home province.
In continental Europe, the most ancient recorded family crest was discovered upon the monumental effigy of a Count of Wasserburg in the church of St. Emeran, at Ratisobon, Germany...
In the Roux coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement.

In the same year, he returned to Indochina, where he installed a small laboratory at Nha Trang, in order to manufacture the serum (in 1905 this laboratory was to become a branch of the Pasteur Institute).

Emile Roux and Alexandre Yersin worked with Pasteur at his Institute in Paris.
Roux and Yersin found that diphtheria's symptoms are the body's response to a toxin given off by the bacteria.
Roux and Yersin's discovery launched a two-pronged approach to controlling diphtheria's spread: the search for both an antitoxin--a substance capable of counteracting and defusing the toxin's deadly effects--and a vaccine.

 Cell-free fermentation (5/8)
It turns out that Roux was accepted as an assistant in Pasteur’s laboratory in November 1878 (Delaunay, 1975), so the timing of the Pasteur– Berthelot debate and of Pasteur’s own complaint about his hard work on fermentation in 1878 are in perfect agreement.
There is excellent direct evidence as to why Pasteur failed: it was not that his methods were at fault, but rather that the yeast that he employed was unsuitable.
It was the Nobel laureate Arthur Harden, the first after Buchner materially to advance our knowledge of Buchner’s zymase (requirement for phosphate, participation of a dialysable material, now called NAD, originally named co-zymase) who did the critical experiment.
