Artur Pappenheim (born December 13, 1870 in Berlin ; † December 31, 1916 there ) was a German physician, internist, cancer researcher and hematologist . The Pappenheim coloring is named after him.
Career
He attended the royal Wilhelmsgymnasium in Berlin until he graduated in 1889 and then studied mathematics and philosophy : a semester in Freiburg i. Br. , Three semesters in Berlin. Then he began studying medicine and natural sciences in Berlin. There he received his doctorate in 1895 and received his license to practice medicine in 1896.
Following his military service, he worked for Joseph von Mering at the University of Halle . This was followed by activities with the neurologist Ludwig Lichtheim in Königsberg , with the dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna in Hamburg and from 1906 to 1909 at the Charité Cancer Research Institute with the internist Ernst Viktor von Leyden . In 1912 he received his habilitation and was appointed professor. After the outbreak of World War I in 1914, he looked after soldiers in a military hospital in Russia who were infected with typhus . He infected himself with this ailment and died on New Year's Eve 1916 on a home leave.
Scientific work
Pappenheim dealt intensively with blood cell research and tried to clarify the question of blood stem cells through morphological comparisons, but was not very successful. His staining method, the "panoptic universal staining" (now Pappenheim staining ), is still used.
One of Pappenheim's particular achievements in hematology was the founding of Folia Haematologica , an international hematological specialist journal, in 1904 , and the Hematological Society of Berlin in 1908 .
The Artur Pappenheim Prize is named after Pappenheim and has been awarded annually since 1970 by the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO) for scientific work dealing with clinical, experimental or theoretical questions in hematology.
