Daniel Bovet (23 March 1907 – 8 April 1992) was a Swiss-born Italian pharmacologist who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of drugs that block specific neurotransmitters' activities.
He is best known for his discovery of antihistamines in 1937, which prevent the neurotransmitter histamine and are used in allergy medications.
He has published studies on chemotherapy, sulfa drugs, the sympathetic nervous system, curare's pharmacology, and other neuropharmacological topics. Bovet was a member of a research group who found that smoking of tobacco cigarettes raised users' intelligence in 1965.
The object, not to "create geniuses," he told The New York Times, but it was only "to" place the less able individual in a position to achieve a healthy mental and intellectual growth.
