Abstract: Robert Levine: a man capable of intelligent and constructive criticism, who could accept with humility the criticisms of others. A man who left a deep mark in the history of research, both inside and outside the United States. Above all, a great problem solver. A brilliant doctor and refined bioethicist, he was able to deal with the disasters of research on human subjects and to remedy to them. He fought against the application in clinical practice of ethical principles valid only for research, but also against the universalisation of the rules of informed consent, which are applicable only to Western cultures. A researcher who deserves to be known by all, especially by young people.
