August Julius Geppert (born November 7, 1856 in Berlin ; † March 12, 1937 in Gießen ) was a German pharmacologist and physician .

Life

Geppert began studying medicine in Heidelberg in 1875 , which he continued in Berlin from 1877 to 1879. On October 13, 1880, he received his doctorate there with the dissertation The gases of arterial blood in fever . From 1880 he was an assistant at the 2nd Medical Clinic in Berlin. In 1886 he moved to the Pharmacological Institute of the University of Bonn , where he completed his habilitation in the same year. On March 16, 1893, Geppert was appointed associate professor. In 1899 he followed a call to the chair of pharmacology at the University of Giessen , which he held until 1928. In 1933, as a so-called " half-Jew ", his license to teach was withdrawn.

Geppert dealt extensively with the physiology of breathing and the pharmacology of vapors and gases, especially in connection with anesthesia . In Berlin he worked closely with the physiologist Nathan Zuntz and designed the Zuntz-Geppert respiratory apparatus. An anesthetic machine that made it possible to measure blood gases and dose chloroform can also be traced back to him.
