Research on how to cure yellow fever was conducted by many independent doctors including my ancestor Dr. Samuel A. Mudd. Though one of the most famous doctors known for researching Yellow Fever was a Cuban doctor named Carlos Finlay. Now for your question, William Gorgas, a physician was most well known for helping fight yellow fever in Panama.
