About me / Bio:
Hunein Maassab was born on June 11, 1926, in Damascus, Syria. He immigrated to the United States in the late 1940s and started using the name John. He received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Missouri and his Master of Public Health and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan. He worked as a professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health for more than four decades, and founded and directed the Hospital and Molecular Epidemiology Program. He was a world-renowned scientist recognized for his extensive research into the creation and development of influenza vaccines. He first isolated the Influenza Type-A-Ann Arbor virus in 1960 and by 1967 had developed a cold-adapted virus. His research resulted in FluMist, a cold-adapted, live attenuated, trivalent influenza virus vaccine, which was licensed by the Food and Drug Administration in 2003. He received many awards and honors for his contributions to public health and science, including the Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal Award in 2005. He died on February 1, 2014, at his home in North Carolina. He was 87 years old.
