Louis Pasteur, a French chemist and microbiologist, invented the process of pasteurization and developed vaccines for rabies and anthrax. Pasteurization involves heating liquids like milk to kill harmful bacteria without affecting taste. His work in germ theory revolutionized medicine and food safety.
Pasteur’s discoveries drastically reduced disease transmission and saved countless lives. His contributions laid the foundation for microbiology and modern immunology, and the term "Pasteurization" is named in his honor
