Immunotec Mourns the Death of Dr. Gustavo Bounous

Immunotec Inc. Executive Chairman and CEO Robert M. Henry announced the passing of Dr. Gustavo Bounous at the age of 83.

Born in Luserna, Italy, in 1928, Dr. Gustavo Bounous began his distinguished career in medical research as a Research Fellow in surgery at the Indiana Medical Center, Indianapolis, which led to his appointment as Professor of Surgery, first at the University of Sherbrooke (1973-1985) and then at McGill University (1985-1993). Dr. Bounous was awarded the 1965 medal of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. In 1968, he was named Career Investigator of the Medical Research Council, an award that was reconfirmed until 1993, the year of his retirement from McGill University.

It was Dr. Bounous’ research with colleagues at McGill University that led to the discovery of a dietary protein source that would boost the immune system, later to be developed as a high-quality bioactive material given the name Immunocal®. Dr. Bounous later said, “Discoveries are not made by scientific committee; they’re made by individuals who have been lucky and persistent.”

John Molson, Immunotec Vice President, Research & Development, who worked at the right-hand of Dr. Bounous for more than 10 years, said, “I feel deeply privileged to have met and worked with a true genius whose work will make a difference in the lives of millions for generations to come.”
