Hideyo Noguchi was a Japanese bacteriologist who along with Simon Flexner was the first person in the United States to discover the bacteria which was the cause of syphilis - Treponema pallidum and thereby confirm the discovery made by Fritz Schaudinn.
Noguchi attended and graduated from a proprietary medical school in Tokyo in 1897 and then went on to the position of research assistant to Simon Flexner at the University of Pennsylvania in 1900 where he worked on snake venom.
In his ongoing work on syphilis, Noguchi was able to modify the Wasserman test, the purpose of which was the detection of syphilis, as well as prove that general paresis and tabes dorsalis were indeed the late stages of syphilis.

Hideyo Noguchi, a scientist who spent 23 years at Rockefeller in the early part of the 20th century, is not one of the big names on campus today.
So in the end, Noguchi, who joined Simon Flexner’s laboratory in 1904 and died in 1927 from yellow fever while pursuing the cause of the disease in Africa, is more a footnote than a main chapter in Rockefeller’s history.
First, there’s his childhood: Noguchi was born into an impoverished farm family and as a baby suffered severe burns to his left hand that left him crippled for much of his life.
