Details

Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915) was a German doctor. Through his staining methods, he differentiated between different types of blood cells, which enabled the diagnosis of numerous blood diseases. He was the first to develop a drug treatment for syphilis and thus founded chemotherapy. Emil Adolf von Behring (1854-1917) was a German bacteriologist and serologist and recipient of the first Nobel Prize for Medicine. He researched diphtheria disease, from which every second child died. Because of his success, he was dubbed the “savior of children” for a long time.
