Uribe also performed the surgery on another Rosenhaus client, running back Willis McGahee, a former Hurricanes standout who suffered a serious knee injury in his final college game in January 2003.

The Buffalo Bills took McGahee with the 23rd pick overall."I'm still projecting, because of (Ikegwuonu's) age (22) and the way guys come back from these injuries ... the type of people we have working with him are the exact same people that worked with Willis McGahee, a first-round pick and first player drafted at his position," Rosenhaus said.

With just a quick built laboratory, a few microscopes, mosquito nets and syringes, Dr. Johnson and his colleagues were able to identify Machupo virus, a hemorrhagic fever that had reached epidemic proportions in the South American country. More than 30 years later, that break through, along with groundbreaking research on several other viruses, continues to aid scientists to identify and contain life-threatening diseases such as Ebola and Sin Nombre, which have both reached American soil, but thanks to the pioneering research of Dr.
