Biography
Murray B. Bornstein (November 22, 1917 – August 31, 1995) was an American neuroscientist. He was well known for developing tissue culture techniques valuable for studying demyelinating disease. He collaborated with the Weizmann Institute and Teva Pharmaceuticals to develop the drug Copaxone, now a common treatment for multiple sclerosis.
In 2014, the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College established a chaired professorship, relating to research specialty in neurology and multiple sclerosis, in his honor.
