from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elmar Stöcker (born March 15, 1929 in Krefeld , † January 18, 1984 in West Berlin ) was a German pathologist.

Life

Stocker's parents were chemists. He lost his father at the age of 8. After elementary school and high school, he attended an interpreting school for the English language. In the winter semester of 1947/48 he began to study medicine at the re-established Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . In 1950 he became a member of the Corps Teutonia Gießen , which was then based in Mainz. He finished his studies in Mainz in 1953 with the state examination and doctorate. After a few months of clinical activity, at the end of 1953 he became a compulsory assistant to Hermann von Törne in the Krefeld pathology department. A little later he moved to Gustav Gerstel in Gelsenkirchen . He stayed with him until the summer of 1960, most recently as a prosector . Despite the great stress of everyday routine, he began to publish. He successfully applied for a research assistant position to Hans-Werner Altmann in Würzburg. Before he could take on it, he spent a year as a guest assistant with W. Maurer at the Institute for Medical Isotope Research at the University of Cologne . There he familiarized himself with autoradiography and the use of radioactive isotopes . In the summer of 1961 he took up the position at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg . He investigated the cell metabolism and the content and synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid in the cell nucleus . In 1963 he completed his habilitation. In 1970 he was appointed associate professor. The Corps Rhenania Würzburg awarded him the ribbon in 1974. The Free University of Berlin appointed him to the chair at the Steglitz Clinic for the 1975 winter semester . Damaged in an accident and seriously ill, he had to give up the job after two years. He was less than 55 years old. His list of publications is very long.
