Live and act

After graduating from high school, Schmid-Schönbein studied medicine at the universities of Tübingen, Göttingen , Kiel and most recently in Düsseldorf , where he received his doctorate in 1962 . He then took on a scientific position at the Physiological Institute of the University of Cologne and then spent a research stay at Harvard University in the field of hemorheology with the help of a scholarship from the Max Kade Foundation . After his return he got a job at the Physiological Institute of the University of Munich , where he received his Venia Legendi for the subject Physiology.

In 1974 Schmid-Schönbein accepted an appointment at the University Hospital Aachen , where he took over the chair for physiology and head of the institute for physiology, which he held until his retirement in 2003. In the meantime he took over the office of dean of the medical faculty from 1982 to 1984 and during this time was largely responsible for the establishment of the institute for laboratory animal science.

Schmid-Schönbein distinguished himself above all in his research area of ​​hemorheology by combining interdisciplinary theoretical-mathematical with experimental approaches. As part of a collaborative research center on artificial organs, from 1975 to 1987 he mainly devoted himself to coagulation rheology and headed this area as a speaker for many years.

Schmid-Schönbein was awarded the Fahraeus Medal Award in 1985 for his services in the field of clinical hemorheology .
