A pioneer is a person who enters a new or undeveloped field: a forerunner who paves the way for others who in turn further develop the initial achievement. The first discovery of something often makes history, as well as the person behind it.

Behind every major invention, you will find a special person who took the first step. Pioneers have a strong impact on the achievements of society in general. Especially, the rapid improvements and developments in medicine and science in the last decades have basically been founded on the achievements of only a few exceptional scientists.
