Charles Nicolle was a French bacteriologist. In 1928, he was the sole recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on typhus. He notably discovered the role of lice in the transmission of the infection in humans.
Born on September 12, 1866, in Rouen, France, Nicolle learned biology early from his father Eugene Nicolle, a doctor at a Rouen hospital. He received his medical education in Rouen and completed his internship in the hospitals of Paris in 1893.
In 1903 he served Director of the Pasteur Institute in Tunis, where he did his Nobel Prize-winning work on typhus. He was a key researcher in discovering a deadly organism, Toxoplasma. He died on February 28, 1936. To honor him France Postal Department has issued a commemorative stamp of value 15 French Franc in 1958. It depicts the portrait of Nicolle on foreground.
