| Cell biologist, born in Corteno, N Italy. As professor of pathology at Pavia (1876–1918), he discovered the Golgi bodies in animal cells which, through their affinity for metallic salts, become readily visible under the microscope. His work opened up a new field of research into the central nervous system, sense organs, muscles, and glands. He shared the 1906 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. |
