In my eyes, a hero is someone who goes more than the extra mile to help and make a positive impact on society. I believe modern heroes can be fictional or real. They also don't require a superhuman power in order to actually be a superhero. Robert S. Langer comes to my mind when I consider one of my modern day heroes. He is a world renowned chemical engineer with over 220 major awards. In fact, he is one of the 5 living individuals to have received the United States National Medal of Science and the United States National Medal of Technology and Innovation. Langer has made outstanding outstanding advancements and achievements for cancer research and treatments. He has worked in areas ranging from pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, and medical device companies. He is well-educated, loves helping other's, respected, courageous and a passionate leader.
Langer received the world's largest prize for his invention being "one of history's most prolific inventors in medicine". Langer's research work is at the center of biotechnology and materials science. The discoveries he's made the past few decades have helped millions of people all over. I admire his work and findings that have been used to help patients in the healthcare industry.
