Haffkine, W. M. (Waldemar Mordecai), 1860-1930
- [Sir Waldemar Mordechai Wolff Haffkine CIE (Russian: Mordekhaĭ-Volʹf Khavkin) was a bacteriologist from the Russian Empire whose career was blighted in Russia because he refused to convert from Judaism to Russian Orthodox Christianity. He emigrated and worked at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, where he developed an anti-cholera vaccine that he tried out successfully in India. He is recognized as the first microbiologist who developed and used vaccines against cholera and bubonic plague. He tested the vaccines on himself. Lord Joseph Lister named him "a saviour of humanity".]
