Why Is Myron Gordon Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Myron Gordon was an American biologist and geneticist and became an expert on platy fish Xiphophorus while using them for his pioneering cancer research, starting in the late 1920s. Early papers were published while still a graduate student at Cornell University, but he is best known for his research at New York University and the New York Zoological Society .
