Life & Legacy
Averill Abraham Liebow (March 31, 1911 – May 31, 1978) was an international leader on the pathology of the lung. He is credited with the development of a classification system for lung disease. His observations resulted in the discovery of new diseases. Liebow was among the first scientists to enter Hiroshima, Japan, after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945.
