Richard Maly
Richard Maly (born June 28, 1839 in Graz , † March 24, 1891 in Prague ) was an Austrian chemist and pioneer in the field of physiological chemistry .
Life
As a pupil and later also as a student of medicine and chemistry at the University of Vienna , Maly worked at Johann Gottlieb's chemical laboratory in the Joanneum in Graz. The first research work was done. In 1864 he was promoted to Dr. med. doctorate and in the same year he completed his habilitation in chemistry at the University of Graz. After a short time with Robert Wilhelm Bunsen in Heidelberg , he worked at the medical school in Olomouc from 1866 to 1868 . This is where the textbook, the textbook for physicians and pharmacists, “Basics of Modern Chemistry” , was created in 1868 together with Karl Emanuel Brunner . From 1869 Maly was Professor of Physiological Chemistry at the University of Innsbruck and from 1875 to 1886 Professor of General Chemistry at the Technical University of Graz . In 1886 he was appointed professor of general chemistry at the German University in Prague , a position he held until his death.
Scientific achievements
Maly founded the “Annual Report on the Advances in Animal Chemistry”, which appeared for the first time in 1872 and summarized the most important specialist publications. Maly has dealt particularly with physiological chemistry and here with the digestive processes. He examined digestive processes outside the body under laboratory conditions using chemically pure substances. In doing so, knowledge about the bile acid and its breakdown products could be gained. He was awarded a prize for the advancement of knowledge of protein bodies from the Academy of Sciences in Vienna, of which he had been a member since 1881.
