Ernest Witebsky is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Immunologist who established criteria defining autoimmune diseases
Ernest Witebsky was a German-born American immunologist who, with Noel Rose, produced experimental autoimmune thyroiditis and formulated the influential 'Witebsky postulates' — the criteria for establishing that a disease is autoimmune. Born into a Jewish family in Frankfurt, he emigrated to the United States and worked at the University at Buffalo. His criteria remain a benchmark in immunology.
