Unknown Nobel Candidate



I am a high school senior doing a senior speech(graduation
requirement) on research ethics. I was told a story once about an
interesting episode in scientific ethics.
This man was close to being awarded the Nobel Prize in
Physiology(Medicine) for some sort of discovery. However, when the
voting comittee found that his test data come from human testing
conducted by Nazi scientists in concentration camps, he was taken out
of consideration for the Prize. This event occurred within the last
10-15 years. Could you tell me his name and anyplace on the internet
I could go for further information. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated,
Thank you
