Johannes Michaelis (also: Johann Michael ; born January 10, 1606 in Soest ; † November 29, 1667 in Leipzig ) was a German physician and chemist.

Life

Michaelis, who comes from a wealthy patrician family, received his first education through private teachers and at the Lutheran Archigymnasium in Soest. After studying at the University of Rostock and the University of Leiden , he worked in 1630 at the University of Wittenberg with Daniel Sennert with medical studies. In the same year he moved to the University of Leipzig , where he acquired a master's degree in 1630 and a doctorate in medicine in 1631 .

Soon afterwards he became an associate professor at the medical faculty and in 1633 a full professor. In the course of his academic career, he rose to full professor of medicine. Michaelis also took part in the organizational tasks of the Leipzig University. He was decemvir of the university, dean of the medical faculty and in the summer semesters 1637, 1641, 1643, 1651, 1655, 1663 and in the winter semester 1659 rector of the alma mater .

Michaelis, who had made a name for himself above all by introducing chemistry to the medical faculty, and who himself developed various formulations for various drugs, was a widely respected physician of his time. This is also evidenced by his appointments in 1641 as personal physician to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm II of Saxony-Altenburg and in 1662 as personal physician to the Saxon Elector Johann Georg II.
