Life

Peter Scriba's father was the pathologist Karl Scriba. Peter Scriba has two younger siblings. After graduating from the Johanneum School of Academics in Hamburg in 1954 , he studied medicine at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg (1959 doctorate summa cum laude with Helmut Holzer and state examination ). As a research assistant , he initially continued to work at Holzer before going to Harvard Medical School in Boston , Massachusetts as a postdoctoral fellow in 1962/63 . He completed his training as a specialist in internal medicine with Gustav Bodechtel at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , where he was senior physician from 1966 and completed his habilitation in 1967 . In 1972 he became an adjunct professor there , and in 1974 head senior physician and head of the clinical-chemical laboratories.

1980 Scriba received a call on a C4 professor of internal medicine at the University of Lübeck until 1989, where he in 1987 Rector was, and became director of the Department of Internal Medicine at the University.

Act

As of 2015, Scriba has published more than 800 scientific publications , abstracts and contributions to monographs . The focus of his scientific work was on endocrinological diseases , the development of methods for determining hormones and the investigation of their mechanisms of action. Scriba is considered an excellent teacher, especially in pathophysiology and endocrinology. In 1984 he was one of the founders of the working group iodine deficiency , of which he was spokesman. This working group, which acts as a registered association, is financed by grants from the following companies: Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke , Kali und Salz AG , Sanofi-Aventis and SteriPharm as manufacturers of iodine tablets . He was able to make a significant contribution to the fact that the statutory provisions enabled and favored the iodination of table salt ( iodized salt ). The decrease in the frequency of iodine deficiency diseases in Germany is attributed to this iodination.
