In the 20th century polio was one of the most worrying childhood diseases with epidemics in a large number of cities. Today polio is almost eradicated thanks to a safe and effective vaccine.

The virus causing polio was discovered in 1908 by Karl Landsteiner and Erwin Popper. Landsteiner was later awarded a Nobel Prize for another discovery – that of human blood groups.

Later, in 1949, Enders, Weller and Robbins showed how to produce large quantities of the virus and was awarded the 1954 ‪‎Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Jonas Salk applied the Enders-Weller-Robbins technique and developed a polio vaccine in 1952.

Visualising the 3D structure of a polio vaccine was enabled by yet another Nobel Prize awarded discovery. Cryo-EM, or cryo-electron microscopy, allows scientists to see intricate details in biological structures. Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson were awarded the 2017 chemistry prize for their work developing the technique.
