Alexander Maximov

Alexander Alexandrowitsch Maximow ( Russian Александр Александрович Максимов ; born February 3, 1874 in Saint Petersburg , † December 4, 1928 in Chicago ) was a Russian embryologist , hematologist , anatomist and histologist .

He is known for experimental research to prove the common origin of blood cells ( erythropoiesis ). He published an article on this in 1908 in the journal Folia Haematologica . In it he advocated the thesis that lymphocyte- like cells are the common stem cells of blood cells. In addition to blood, he also examined connective tissue and bone marrow.

Maximov came from a wealthy and traditional merchant family in Saint Petersburg. From 1891 he studied at the Imperial Academy of Medicine in Saint Petersburg and was awarded a gold medal for a scientific essay while still a student. In 1896 he received his doctorate and continued his studies for two years in Freiburg and Berlin. From 1903 to 1922 he was professor of embryology and histology at the Medical Academy in Saint Petersburg . In 1922 he emigrated to the USA with his wife, his sister Claudia (who supported him in Chicago as a laboratory assistant and was his research assistant) and an adopted son, and from 1922 he was professor of anatomy at the University of Chicago .

Before his death from the consequences of arteriosclerosis, he worked on a textbook of histology with his colleague William Bloom , which was first published in 1930.

He was a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a member of the Leopoldina .
