Christian Bohr

Christian Harald Lauritz Peter Emil Bohr (born February 14, 1855 in Copenhagen ; † February 3, 1911 there ) was a Danish physiologist and university professor .

Life

Christian Bohr was a son of the later Professor appointed Henrik Georg Christian Bohr (1813-1880).

He studied medicine at the University of Copenhagen from 1872 to 1878 , where he was a student of Peter Ludwig Panum and obtained his doctorate in 1880 . From 1881 he was a private lecturer with Carl Ludwig in Leipzig, with interruptions . In 1885 he was awarded the silver medal of the Royal Danish Society of Sciences for his work.

In 1886 he was appointed associate professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen. Four years later he became a full professor .

His work dealt with temperature-dependent gas absorption in liquids and the binding of O 2 and CO 2 to the blood . There followed experiments on the effective forces in the oxygen uptake of the lungs . The Bohr formula (1891) and the Bohr effect (1904/1905) are named after him. For the discovery of the Bohr effect, he was proposed in 1907 and 1908 by Johan Johansson for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and in 1908 also supported by Leopold Meyer .

His students included Karl Albert Hasselbalch , Louis Sigurd Fridericia , Valdemar Henriques and the later Nobel Prize winner and friend of his son Niels, August Krogh .

In the academic year 1905/06 he was the rector of the university. From the beginning of 1888 he was a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and at the end of 1888 was elected a member of the Leopoldina Academy of Scholars .

Bohr had been married to Ellen Adler (1860–1930), daughter of the Danish banker David Baruch Adler , since 1881 . His best-known son was the physicist and Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr , his son Harald was a football player and mathematician. His grandson Aage Niels Bohr also received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
