A Comparative Historical Study of Pharmaceuticals in the Twentieth Century (DRUGS) and the Technical University Braunschweig in Germany. We wish to thank the other members of the Biological drugs team of DRUGS who met in Paris and encouraged us to conduct the workshop on Drugs, Living Things and the Problems of Standardization at the Technical University Braunschweig in March 2010.

With one exception, the essays in this volume were originally presented at the Braunschweig workshop and have been substantially revised in light of the conference discussion. We owe an anonymous reviewer a debt of gratitude for his/her comprehensive and helpful comments. The editors would also like to thank the steering committee of ESF DRUGS for supporting the publication of this volume. Finally, we thank Eileen Kwiecinski and Julia Saatz for editing the manuscript.
