physician. Goodpasture advanced the scientific understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, parasitism, and a variety of
rickettsial and
viral infections. Together with colleagues at Vanderbilt, he invented methods for growing viruses and rickettsiae in chicken embryos and fertilized chicken eggs.
