He attended the French School in Zaandam and was admitted to university in 1865. In 1866 he began studying science and medicine at the University of Leiden . Here he completed the first candidate examination in philosophy in 1868, the first candidate examination in medicine in 1870 and passed his medical examination in 1872. In 1873 he worked as a doctor in Leiden and devoted himself more to the scientific work of medicine. Soon he became the assistant of his teacher Adriaan Heynsius at the Leiden laboratory and received his doctorate in medicine on May 18, 1874 in Leiden on the subject of Over ureumbepaling in bloed en weefsels . In 1878 he became a lecturer in pathology, pathological surgery and physiology at the veterinary school in Utrecht.

On June 30, 1881, he was appointed professor of pathology and pathological surgery at the University of Utrecht , which he did on September 21, 1881 with the introductory speech De waarde der physiologie voor den beoefenaar der ziektekunde (freely translated into German: The value of physiology for the promotion of pathology ) began. On June 21, 1888 he took over the chair for general physiology and comparative biology, for histology and the experimental part of pharmacodynamics, in particular medical toxicology.

After Franciscus Cornelis Donders died and Theodor Wilhelm Engelmann went to Berlin, he took over the chair for histology and physiological chemistry at the Utrecht University in 1893. In his capacity as a Utrecht university lecturer, he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1896/97 .

He also became a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences in 1886 , was chairman of the Volksbund against alcohol abuse and, after a scientific trip to the Dutch East Indies, campaigned against drug abuse in the same colonies from 1886 onwards.
