Comment: Subject appears notable, but the draft is dependent upon just two sources. The university profile is not sufficiently independent of the subject. Wikipedia requires substantial coverage in reliable independent sources - see WP:RS. For an eminent scientist, this might include news articles in broadsheet newspapers or professional journals, or announcements of his honours or awards by the awarding bodies.

- Comment: I understand. As requested, I inserted additional references to famous awards. I think there can be no doubt regarding the notability of the subject. Ticino100 (talk) 13:23, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
Marco Baggiolini (* August 1 1936 in Bellinzona)[1] is a Swiss immunologist and biochemist known for the discovery and the analysis of the first chemokines (or chemotactic cytokines).
Baggiolini studied medicine at the University of Basel, graduating in 1962.[1] Then he worked as an assistant in biochemistry at the University of Bern (1963-1967) and as a research associate at Rockefeller University in New York (1967-1970) in the laboratory of Christian de Duve (Nobel Prize in 1974).[1] He was an active researcher at the Sandoz Group in Basel from 1970 to 1983, where he served as deputy director of the Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology (1977-1979) and director of the Division of Research on Inflammation and Immunology (1979-1983).[1] In 1983 he was appointed as director of the Theodor Kocher Institute at the University of Bern, where he inaugurated a new research program on inflammation.[1]
Baggiolini has received the prize of the Society for Leukocyte Biology (United States, 1988),[2] the Emil von Behring Prize (Germany, 1998),[3] and the Robert Koch Medal (Germany, 2000).[4] He received a honorary degree in medicine from the University of Ferrara. He was appointed as honorary member of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences and as member of the Academia Europea. He was a member of the editorial boards of American and European scientific journals, as well as several scientific societies and scientific and cultural foundations.[1]
