		Maurice Hilleman is recognized as the most prolific vaccine scientist of the 20th century, saving more lives than any other scientist.
		Hilleman made important contributions outside of vaccine development.
		Hilleman was born in Miles City, Montana, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (1944).

	Hilleman
		Hilleman spent most of his career at Merck, which he joined in 1957 when he was recruited to create and head a new Department of Virus and Cell Biology at West Point, Penn. This department was fueled by basic scientific investigations with centralized multidisciplinary direction.
		Hilleman said the key to his success was maintaining a working relationship with government, industry and academia.
		In 1971 Hilleman's combined MMR vaccine was licensed, allowing a single injection followed by a booster dose that protects children against measles, mumps and rubella.

	Missoulian - Western Montana's News Online
		Maurice Ralph Hilleman, who died April 11 at age 85, probably was the most important person ever born in Montana.
		Indeed, among Hilleman's contributions was creation of a vaccine against range paralysis, a viral infection causing lymphoma in chickens, once a source of huge economic losses for chicken farmers.
		Hilleman never achieved notoriety in the general public, but in scientific circles he was a giant.

		Maurice Hilleman, currently director of the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research in Pennsylvania, took the mumps virus from his oldest daughter, Jeryl Lynn, and developed a vaccine in time to prevent his second daughter from contracting the once-common childhood infection.
		Hilleman was in Bozeman Sept. 21 to lecture on the history of vaccines to a full auditorium at the Museum of the Rockies.
		Hilleman said synthetic vaccines may be possible in the future as well as edible vaccines made by plants.

		Maurice Hilleman, who died on Monday aged 85, developed vaccines against numerous once-common diseases including mumps, measles and rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis (A and B), pneumonia, meningitis and influenza.
		Hilleman entered Montana State University on a scholarship and later moved to Chicago University to do doctoral graduate research on chlamydia, the bacterium which causes a common type of venereal disease.
		Hilleman's solution was to develop a very weak version of the virus by growing it in the cells of chicken embryos.

	The Man Who Saved Your Life, Maurice R. Hilleman (August 30, 1919 - April 11, 2005)
		Hilleman has been credited with developing more vaccines than any person and is recognized for having changed the face of the world in providing means to prevent and control a number of its most important diseases.
		Hilleman, fearing that he would be fired for an expensive useless exercise, seized on his observation of the occurrence of a fresh outbreak of a different disease.
		Hilleman also pioneered the development of vaccines against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. In addition to his creation of nearly 40 vaccines, Dr. Hilleman discovered several viruses and discovered the genetic changes that occur when the influenza virus mutates, known as shift and drift.

		Maurice Hilleman, currently director of the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research in Pennsylvania, took the mumps virus from his oldest daughter, Jeryl Lynn, and developed a vaccine in time to prevent his next daughter from contracting the once-common childhood infection.
		That was in 1963, and Hilleman, a Miles City native, had already made major breakthroughs on influenza vaccines and helped avert what could have been an influenza pandemic in 1957.
		Hilleman's five decades of work have led to vaccines not only for mumps and influenza but also for measles, rubella, the combination vaccine called MMR, varicella (for chickenpox), Marek's disease (of chickens), hepatitis A and B and a group of respiratory viruses called adenoviruses.

	Dr. Maurice Hilleman, Vaccine LEGEND, dies at age 85
		Hilleman and his team at Merck and Co. developed about three dozen experimental and licensed animal and human vaccines, including 8 of the 14 routinely given to young children in the U.S. today.
		Ironically, his death came less than one month after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that rubella had been eliminated as a health threat in the U.S. Much of modern preventive medicine is based on his work, and his contributions have helped extend human life expectancy and improve the economies of many countries.
		Hilleman never won a Nobel Prize, which is reserved for basic research and not practical application.

		Hilleman also discovered SV40 and the adenoviruses, was the first to purify interferon, and the first to demonstrate that its expression is induced by double-stranded RNA—discoveries that launched several branches of molecular biology and immunology and jump-started the quest for antiviral medications.
		Hilleman characterized antigens and isolated them, then did the basic research, the process research and the clinical research, Vagelos says.
		Asked about his pastimes, Hilleman says, "my hobby is working." There are dozens of stories about this workaholic virologist, but one of the most famous highlights his intense focus on public health.

		Hilleman is "one of the true heroes of science and medicine in the 20th century," said Anthony S. Fauci, MD, director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and recipient of the Maxwell Finland Award in 1989.
		Hilleman is hopeful that this problem, as well as other disease prevention challenges, soon will be overcome: "I would emphasize that the battle against infections is worth waging; the war against disease is worth the winning.

		Maurice R. Hilleman, a microbiologist who developed vaccines for mumps, measles, chickenpox, pneumonia, meningitis and other diseases, saving tens of millions of lives, died yesterday at a hospital in Philadelphia.
		Hilleman probably saved more lives than any other scientist in the 20th century, said two medical leaders, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Paul A. Offit, chief of infectious diseases at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia.
		Hilleman developed 8 of the 14 vaccines routinely recommended: measles, mumps, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, chickenpox, meningitis, pneumonia and Haemophilus influenzae bacteria (which brings on a variety of symptoms, including inflammation of the lining of the brain and deafness).

		By 1967, Hilleman had turned his daughter's virus, dubbed the Jeryl Lynn strain of mumps, into the world's first live vaccine against mumps.
		Hilleman died recently (April 2005), and his death went somewhat unnoticed considering his stature and importance to the medical world - and the world in general.
		It's presented by Jeryl-Lynn Hilleman, Maurice's daughter (and the source of the original strain of Mumps infection which is still used in vaccines for the disease today).

	The unsung vaccinologist. - By Arthur Allen - Slate Magazine
		Hilleman, on the other hand, either invented or helped develop vaccines for almost all of the other childhood illnesses—from measles, mumps, and rubella to hepatitis B and meningitis.
		The jokes gave you the impression that Hilleman was crude and uncaring, and a little reckless.
		In a way, the thimerosal controversy is reminiscent of a flap in 1960 in which Hilleman was more deeply involved—his discovery, along with other scientists, that the tumorigenic virus SV40 was lurking in the polio vaccine.
