Some self-experimenters, like Jesse Lazear and Daniel Alcides Carrión, died in the course of their research. Notable examples of self-researchers occur in many fields; infectious disease (Jesse Lazear: yellow fever, Max von Pettenkofer: cholera), vaccine research and development (Daniel Zagury: AIDS, Tim Friede: Snakebite), cancer (Nicholas ...
Self-experimentation refers to single-subject research in which the experimenter conducts the experiment on themself. Usually this means that a single person is the designer, operator, subject, analyst, and user or reporter of the experiment.
