Stanley Falkow, PhD, (24 January, 1934 – 5 May, 2018) was an American microbiologist and a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine.[1] He was known for his study of how infectious microbes and host cells interact to cause disease at the molecular level.[2] He created molecular Koch's postulates, which have guided the study of the microbial determinants of infectious diseases since the late 1980s.[3]
Falkow died on May 5, 2018 at the age of 84 at his home in Portola Valley, California of complications from myelodysplastic syndrome.[4]
