Roger Guillemin, a Nobel Prize-winning physician known for his work on hormones produced by the brain, died at 100. His research led to the development of the birth control pill and treatments for prostate and other cancers. Guillemin engaged in a fierce scientific rivalry with Andrew V. Schally, with both men concealing data and refusing to share samples. Their work in neuroendocrinology challenged prevailing scientific views and uncovered the link between body and soul.

"Nobel-Winning Scientist Roger Guillemin Dies at 100, Stirred by Rivalries"

Roger Guillemin, a Nobel-winning neuroscientist known for his work on hormones controlling bodily functions, has died at 100. His career was marked by intense scientific rivalries, including a 10-year competition with his former partner Andrew V. Schally, which ended in them sharing the Nobel Prize in 1977, and a later rivalry with his collaborator Wylie Vale Jr. Guillemin's interest in brain control of the pituitary gland led him to a career in medical research, despite initially training to be a family doctor in France.
