John G. Gorman (born c. 1931) [1] is an Australian physician and medical researcher. In 1980, Gorman shared the Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for pioneering work on the rhesus blood group system, the role of rhesus D antibodies in the causation of Rh disease and the apparently paradoxical prevention of Rh disease using the Rh antibodies themselves, in the form of Rho(D) immune globulin, as treatment. [2] [3]
Since its discovery, Gorman's treatment is estimated to have saved millions of lives. [1]
