      American physician (b. Feb. 26, 1908, Bridgeport, Conn.—d. March 16, 2000, Newton, Mass.), pioneered treatments for infectious diseases and was a prominent medical educator. He earned his medical degree in 1943 from Boston University and served as the university's chief of infectious diseases from 1947 to 1957. He moved to Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, in 1957, where he served as chief of infectious diseases until his retirement in 1975. Aside from Weinstein's highly influential career as a professor of medicine, he was responsible for introducing numerous antibiotic treatments, warning the medical community of drug resistance to antibiotic therapy, and establishing hospital units to treat infectious diseases. In addition, he was praised for his role in fighting the polio epidemics in New England in 1949 and 1955. After his retirement, he served as chairman of an advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
