Research priorities

In his early years as a doctor, Schätzle mainly researched the histology and histochemistry of the islet apparatus of the pancreas . After his work at the histological institute and the decision to train as a specialist in ear, nose and throat medicine, Schätzle was one of the first to recognize the importance of histochemistry as a new field of research in ENT medicine. Investigations into the reduction of inner ear vessel damage by drugs followed.
