Victor Nigon
Victor Marc Nigon was a biologist who was first to study the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans in the laboratory, with Ellsworth Dougherty, in the 1940s.
Jean-Louis Brun, a student of Nigon, continued experiments on the 'Bergerac' variety of C. elegans.
The specific epithet given to the nematode species Caenorhabditis nigoni is a tribute to Victor Nigon.
