Professor Alan Scott – In Memoriam (1932-2021)

The story of Botox from poison to therapeutic agent is largely from the collaboration of two extraordinary scientists, Alan Scott and Ed Schantz, who approached the toxin with completely different goals.
Professor Alan Scott has passed away at end of 2021, and we are honouring him telling a bit of his history on our BNN webpage.
We are very grateful for his work.
