Jacques Loeb (1859 – 1924) was a German-born American physiologist and biologist. He was the model for the character of Max Gottlieb in Sinclair Lewis\u27s Pulitzer-winning novel Arrowsmith, the first great work of fiction to idealize and idolize pure science. Mark Twain also wrote an essay titled Dr. Loeb\u27s Incredible Discovery , urging the reader not to support a rigid general consensus, but to instead be open to new scientific advances. Loeb was nominated many times for the Nobel Prize but never won.

Awareness of the chemical mechanisms of biological regulation and specificity was certainly an important factor in the formulation of medical research during the early days of The Rockefeller Institute. Paradoxically, however, chemistry came to dominate the intellectual atmosphere of the Institute, not through the achievements of the professional chemists, important as those achievements were, nor ever through the preoccupations of the physicians concerned with the chemical aspects of physiological processes and of hormone, enzyme, or drug action, but through the vigorous personality of Jacques Loeb – a general biologist instant on promoting a philosophical theory of life based on physiochemical determinism.
