Joseph Peter Weinmann, 1943

Joseph Peter Weinmann (born May 13, 1896 in Nová Bystřice (Bohemia), † May 12, 1960 in Highland Park (Illinois)) was an Austrian - American dentist and university professor .

Life

Joseph Peter Weinmann received his doctorate from the University of Vienna in 1923 and was a member of the famous “ Vienna School ”. He was persecuted during National Socialism for racist reasons and expelled from the University of Vienna, as were the dentists Rudolf Kronfeld (1901–1940), Balint Orbán (1889–1974), Bernhard Gottlieb (1885–1950), Albin Oppenheim (1875–1945) and Harry Safe (1889–1974). Their names are not known to many in this country, they only achieved great fame in America and their scientific activities were highly valued and honored many times.

When Weinmann came to the United States in 1938, he spent a year at the Department of Dentistry at the University of Illinois in Chicago and a year at Columbia University before moving to the Dental School of Loyola University Chicago as Assistant Professor of Oral Pathology . In 1946 he joined the Department of Histology at the University of Illinois as an Associate Professor and in 1949 became Professor and Head of the Department of Oral Pathology , a position he held until his death in 1960. His death came within a few weeks of that of his colleague Balint Orbán .

Scientific activity

He has published articles on bone physiology and pathology, amelogenesis , normal and pathological oral epithelium, and periodontal disease . His greatest achievement was the creation of a department at the University of Illinois that for twenty years trained many who would later teach dentistry.

The catalyst for the research company in Weinmann's laboratory was Julia Meyer , herself a refugee from National Socialist Europe, who joined the Department of Oral Pathology at the University of Illinois in 1953 after completing her doctorate at the University of Chicago. Weinmann and Meyer worked on the biology of the oral epithelium and developed an extensive research and graduate college that continued until Meyer's retirement in the mid-1980s. An important focus of research was the functional structure of the fabric, the classic Viennese approach and Julia Meyer was preparing for Orbán's "Oral Histology and Embryology" for several editions, the "Chapter oral mucosa " link.
