Élie Metchnikoff (1845–1916) was a Russian-born zoologist and immunologist who discovered phagocytosis, earning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908. He pioneered the study of cellular immunity and later focused on aging and longevity, advocating for probiotics and the role of gut microbiota. His work bridged evolutionary biology, pathology, and gerontology.
