Abstract
In this edition of the Pioneers and Pathfinders Series, the contributions of David B. Pall, PhD, to transfusion medicine are discussed. With the aid of Dr Pall's unpublished personal history and assistance from family members and the company he founded, we are able to provide perspective to several remarkable scientific advances. For those of us in transfusion medicine, the discovery of the world's first leukoreduction filter prevails as his most significant invention. However, to the rest of the world, Dr Pall pioneered filtration with applications in aerospace, microelectronics, general industry, and most recently, contamination control. The almost 60-year-old Pall Corporation continues to preserve his legacy.
