Karl Landsteiner (June 14, 1868 – June 26, 1943) , was an Austrian biologist and physician.

Wiener, the Rhesus factor, in 1937, thus enabling physicians to transfuse blood without endangering the patient's life. With Constantin Levaditi and Erwin Popper, he discovered the polio virus in 1909. He received theAronson Prizein 1926. In 1930, he received theNobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
