Abstract

Philip Marcus (1927–2013), a prominent and celebrated virus and interferon researcher, was also influential to the field of radiobiology. His work as a graduate student led to the development of the first mammalian cell clonogenic assay. This tribute to Philip Marcus is written to memorialize this inventive scientist and share the stimulating story of how he and his mentors developed the clonogenic assay.
