He made the state examination in Würzburg , where with a thesis on it Martin Benno Schmidt to Dr. med. received his doctorate . In his only 14 years of work, he dealt primarily with blood coagulation , but also with other hematological , immunobiological and oncological problems. “There was no inconsequential work among his around 45 publications.” (R. Rössle) From 1932 to 1934 he was assistant to Walther Berblinger (1882–1966) in Jena . As a scholarship holder of the German Research Foundation , he worked for one year with Hans Zinsser at the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology at Harvard Medical School .

In the summer semester of 1939 he successfully represented the chair of pathology at the Karl Ferdinand University . He turned down the call to a West German professorship, which he had "hastily" given in 1944 . After he had just recovered from injuries from a bombing raid on Berlin, he was killed in another attack in the last winter of World War II at the age of 39.
