Together with the later Rosalyn Yalow it developed the method of the radioimmunoassay. In addition it carried important research work out for the use of radioisotopes as indicators or tracers in the medicine.

Berson was the son of a Russian emigrant, who possessed a It had two brothers and sisters.

Yalow and Berson published numerous fundamental work over the radio iodine therapy and further medical uses of radionuclides (see nuclear medicine). 1953 succeeded it to them to clear the metabolism up of the serum albumin by marking with radioactive iodine. 1956 studied it the anti-body connection of insulin with Diabetikern and arrived with the fact at the discovery that their radioactive marking technology could reliably measure also extremely small material concentrations in the blood. They proved that many older diabetes patients had not too low, but on the contrary supernormal high insulin concentrations in the blood (today as type ii-diabetes well-known). 1959 published it their measuring method in final form. This was the birth to today common radioimmunoassays. Yalow and Berson applied them in the next decades to numerous open questions of the Endokrinologie. They did not let the procedure patent.
