Ernst Weinland

Ernst Friedrich Weinland (born March 9, 1869 in Hohenwittlingen , † October 17, 1932 in Bad Urach ) was a German physiologist and zoologist .

Weinland studied medicine and zoology in Munich, Tübingen, Berlin and Leipzig and received his doctorate in zoology in Berlin in 1893 ( contributions to the knowledge of the structure of the Diptera oscillator ). In the same year he also finished his medical studies in Leipzig and became an assistant doctor in Esslingen and then went as an assistant to the laboratory of Carl von Voit in Munich, where he completed his habilitation in physiology in 1899 ( contributions to the question of the behavior of lactose in the body, especially in the intestine ). Afterwards he was associate professor for physiology at the Technical University for Farmers in Freising and from 1913 full professor for physiology at the University of Erlangen .

He researched the physiology of the sensory organs (New Investigations on the Function of the Retina 1895) and brain pathways, later on biochemistry, enzymes (such as lactase ) and the metabolism of parasites such as roundworms ( Ascaris ).

In 1909 he became a member of the Leopoldina , whose Carus Prize he had already received in 1906.
