Reinhard Haschen
Reinhard Julius Haschen (born March 1, 1920 in Stendal ; † July 7, 2010 ) was a German physician, biochemist and university professor at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg .
Life
Haschen studied medicine in Göttingen and Rostock from 1940 , received his doctorate in Halle under Rudolf Cobet in 1947 and received his specialist training in internal medicine there. This was followed by specialist training in physiological chemistry with Horst Hanson in Halle with his habilitation in 1960 with a thesis on exopeptidases in human serum. He was laboratory manager at the 2nd Medical Clinic in Halle, became associate professor in 1965 and from 1969 professor of biochemistry in Halle. In 1985 he retired. He then worked for several years in the laboratory of Detlef Laue's friend in Cologne.
He contributed to establishing laboratory medicine as an independent specialist area in the GDR and developed clinical-chemical diagnostic procedures including approaches to automation at his institute. His research focus was clinical enzymology. He examined alanine aminopeptidases and dipeptide hydrolases, membrane and organelle enzymes (concept of membrane enzymes 1970/71), examined the release of enzymes in cells and wrote several monographs (pathobiochemistry of the liver, enzyme diagnostics).
He was an honorary member of the German, Czech and Polish Societies for Clinical Chemistry and a member of the Leopoldina (1975).
In his spare time he was an accomplished pianist who also gave piano recitals in the Handel House in Halle and wrote a book about Franz Liszt .
