Barry James Marshall has certain qualities and attitudes that make him a successful biologist, such as creative ,perseverance, ability to work in a team.
Perseverance: He did not give up the thought that H.pylori is the cause of most peptic ulcer and gastric cancer despite the fact that other scientists disagree with him.
Creative: After he had failed to infect piglets with bacteria, he drank a petri- dish of bacteria and developed gastritis so as to find out if his stomach reveal any bacteria.
Ability to work in a team: He ,together with his partner Robbin Warner , performed the initial culture of H. pylori and developed their hypothesis related to the bacterial cause of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer and proved that H. pylori is the cause of gastric.
All of this attitudes make him what he is today, a successful biologist!
