François-Emmanuel Fodéré
François-Emmanuel Fodéré (born January 8, 1764 in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne , Duchy of Savoy ; † February 4, 1835 in Strasbourg , France ) was a French doctor and coroner .
Fodéré came from a poor background, went to school in Chambéry and studied medicine in Turin , where he received his doctorate in 1787 . Before he received the professorship in forensic medicine in Strasbourg in 1814 , he worked from 1793 in Marseille at the Hospice d'humanité and an institution for the mentally ill and taught physics , chemistry and philosophy in Nice .
Confronted with the effects of industrialization , Fodéré became a critic of the “mechanical trades and factories that are not only harmful to the health of those directly employed, but also to the residents”.
