Quoting from the obituary of George Klein in the journal Nature (it can be found online and read for free): "George Klein, with his wife, Eva, discovered foundational phenomena in cancer research. He showed that normal cells carry genes, now known as tumour suppressors, that prevent cancer. He also worked out how the immune system comes to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. . . . George also published books on the humanities, philosophy and popular science. Topics ranged from the Holocaust, atheism and religion to mysteries in cell biology and personal portraits of his heroes in science, music, poetry and literature" (Nature, vol. 542, February 16, 2017, p. 296). Salvador E. Luria shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1969 with Max Delbrück and Alfred D.
