Robert Zollinger
With a career that spanned much of the 20th century, Robert Milton Zollinger (1903-1992) was respected by his peers, feared by his students and loved by his patients. In 1955, working with Dr. Edwin Ellison, he discovered the Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, which dealt with the relationship between non-beta islet cell tumors of the pancreas and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Zollinger also co-authored the Atlas of Surgical Operations, a textbook currently in its ninth edition.
The Medical Heritage Center has an archival collection about Dr. Zollinger and the finding aid for it can be viewed at https://hsl.osu.edu/mhc/pdf/robert-m-zollinger-md-collection.
