I 2023 er det 150 år siden oppdagelsen av Leprabasillen, det skal markeres med flere arrangementer i løpet av året og 28. februar inviterer vi til jubileumsmarkering i Universitetsaulaen.

Gerhard Henrik Armauer Hansens er «uten sammenlikning den mest berømte norske lege gjennom tidene» (Norsk biografisk leksikon). Den største bragden var oppdagelsen av leprabasillen, M.leprae, først observert 28. februar 1873.

Oppdagelsen representerte et medisinsk paradigmeskifte da den for første gang viste at en bakterie er årsak til kronisk sykdom. Den representerte også et epidemiologisk gjennombrudd med konsekvenser for forebyggende medisin og helselovgivning i Norge, og globalt.
