Edward Jenner Research Paper

Edward Jenner was born in Berkeley, Gloucestershire on May 17, 1749. Gloucester is in the western part of England. Edward was an orphan at the age of five and lived with his older brother. He went to school in Wolten-Under-Edge and Cirencester as a kid. Edward was a very smart kid. He started to get interested in science and nature. At the age of nine, he started working as a surgeon’s apprentice. He was an apprentice for Dr. Daniel Ludlow for seven years then went to London, England to study science and nature. When he graduated high school he started his college career at University of St. Andrew in 1792. Edward got a chance to go back to St. George hospital to complete he training with a great experimentalist, John Hunter. At the age

When Edward was an apprentice, he over heard a girl say that she couldn’t get the dreaded smallpox because she already had a disease called Cowpox. Cowpox happens in a cow’s udders but when humans come in contact with the cow, that person can also get this horrendous disease. Besides cowpox, smallpox is the most annoying disease. Smallpox back then was considered a deadly disease that was very common. Smallpox is a viral disease that gives you a fever and leaves scars all over. Edward got inspired when that girl said that, so he started researching this human pathogenic disease. The more he researched, the more he got inspired. Edward noticed that a lady, Jan Ingenhaus, who lived in England came up with an idea. She would cut your patients arm and put the cowpox in the wound and supposable the patient wouldn’t react as badly as it normally does. Jenner started with small animals like cows. When he cured smallpox in humans he decided to start working on humans. He had an experiment with an eight-year-old boy named James. Edward cut James’s arm and put cowpox puss inside the wound. James received normal reactions but after several days he was in excellent health. After Jenner made sure that James was okay he did the same thing but with the Smallpox puss. James remained healthy after the experiment. At that moment Edward realized he cured Smallpox. Jenner decided to name it

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) started a worldwide an event where children could come in and get their vaccinations. One of the most exciting awards that Edward Jenner received was the Noble Prize in Physiology and medicine in 1809. Jenner became the Father of Immunology. After that award, Edward went back home and took a break from his experiments. Edward stayed home with his wife, Catherine, and their kids Edward, Catherine, and Robert Fizhardinge. As Edward got older, he had some medical issues. On January 26, 1823, Edward had a stroke and died. It was his son who found him unconscious and later
