Hans Aronson
Hans Aronson (28 November 1865 – 8 March 1919) was a German pediatrician and bacteriologist. The Aronson Prize in microbiology and immunology was established by his will and has been awarded since 1921. Since 1970, the prize is awarded by the Senate of Berlin. Aronson was born in Königsberg. He studied medicine in Königsberg and Berlin, and, as a student, he became an assistant of Paul Ehrlich. Aronson was mainly interested in microbiology and serology. He obtained his doctorate in 1886 with Paul Ehrlich as his doctoral advisor. He worked at the children's hospital in Berlin-Wedding from 1890 to 1891. In 1893, he became the first director of the newly established Department of Bacteriology at Schering AG. In this capacity, he developed one of the first successful commercially produced antitoxic antisera against diphtheria, based largely on the basic research of Emil von Behring, but in competition with Behring himself. In 1902, he developed a novel production method for an ...

Aronson Prize
The Aronson Prize (german: Aronson-Preis) is a prize awarded for achievements in microbiology and immunology. It was established by the will of the pediatrician and bacteriologist Hans Aronson and has been awarded since 1921. Aronson bequeathed a large part of his estate to the establishment of the prize. The prize is awarded biannually on 8 March, the date of Aronson's death. In 1969, the foundation that awarded the prize was dissolved on the initiative of its last chairman Georg Henneberg, and the responsibility for the prize and the remaining capital was transferred to the (West) Berlin government, in order to safeguard the existence of the prize. Since 1970, the prize has been awarded by the Senate of Berlin. The first laureate was August von Wassermann. Among the Aronson laureates are several scientists who later were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, such as Karl Landsteiner and Gerhard Domagk. Laureates * 1921 August von Wassermann * 1926 Karl Lands ...

Emil Von Behring
Emil von Behring (; Emil Adolf von Behring), born Emil Adolf Behring (15 March 1854 – 31 March 1917), was a German physiologist who received the 1901 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the first one awarded in that field, for his discovery of a diphtheria antitoxin. He was widely known as a "saviour of children," as diphtheria used to be a major cause of child death. His work with the disease, as well as tetanus, has come to bring him most of his fame and acknowledgment. He was honored with Prussian nobility in 1901, henceforth being known by the surname "von Behring." Biography Behring was born in Hansdorf, Kreis Rosenberg, Province of Prussia (now Ławice, Iława County, Poland). His father was a schoolmaster; the family had 13 children. Between 1874 and 1878, he studied medicine at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Akademie in Berlin, an academy for military doctors, since his family could not afford the university. As a military doctor, he studied the action of iodoform. Due to hi ...

Physicians From Königsberg
A physician (American English), medical practitioner ( Commonwealth English), medical doctor, or simply doctor, is a health professional who practices medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining or restoring health through the study, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments. Physicians may focus their practice on certain disease categories, types of patients, and methods of treatment—known as specialities—or they may assume responsibility for the provision of continuing and comprehensive medical care to individuals, families, and communities—known as general practice. Medical practice properly requires both a detailed knowledge of the academic disciplines, such as anatomy and physiology, underlying diseases and their treatment—the '' science'' of medicine—and also a decent competence in its applied practice—the art or '' craft'' of medicine. Both the role of the physician and the m ...

Dresden
Dresden (, ; Upper Saxon: ''Dräsdn''; wen, label=Upper Sorbian, Drježdźany) is the capital city of the German state of Saxony and its second most populous city, after Leipzig. It is the 12th most populous city of Germany, the fourth largest by area (after Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne), and the third most populous city in the area of former East Germany, after Berlin and Leipzig. Dresden's urban area comprises the towns of Freital, Pirna, Radebeul, Meissen, Coswig, Radeberg and Heidenau and has around 790,000 inhabitants. The Dresden metropolitan area has approximately 1.34 million inhabitants. Dresden is the second largest city on the River Elbe after Hamburg. Most of the city's population lives in the Elbe Valley, but a large, albeit very sparsely populated area of the city east of the Elbe lies in the West Lusatian Hill Country and Uplands (the westernmost part of the Sudetes) and thus in Lusatia. Many boroughs west of the Elbe lie in the foreland of th ...

Georg Henneberg
Georg Heinrich Hermann Henneberg (12 October 1908 in Berlin – 26 February 1996 in Berlin) was a German physician, who served as President of the Robert Koch Institute from 1952 to 1969 and as President of the Federal Health Agency from 1969 to 1974. He was previously director of the Department of Bacteriology at the pharmaceutical company Schering AG. Career He was a son of the noted bacteriologist Wilhelm Henneberg. He graduated as a medical doctor in Berlin in 1935 and obtained a doctoral degree in the same year. However, due to having a Jewish great-grandfather, he was denied a medical license. After complaining to the Ministry of the Interior, and enlisting the support of the noted physicians Victor Klingmüller and Ernst Rodebach, the authorities relented and he was given his medical license. After initial difficulty in finding work, he was employed at Schering AG, a company which employed several scientists of Jewish origin who were discriminated against elsewhere. At ...

Streptococcus
''Streptococcus'' is a genus of gram-positive ' (plural ) or spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae, within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Bacillota. Cell division in streptococci occurs along a single axis, so as they grow, they tend to form pairs or chains that may appear bent or twisted. This differs from staphylococci, which divide along multiple axes, thereby generating irregular, grape-like clusters of cells. Most streptococci are oxidase-negative and catalase-negative, and many are facultative anaerobes (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically). The term was coined in 1877 by Viennese surgeon Albert Theodor Billroth (1829–1894), by combining the prefix "strepto-" (from ), together with the suffix "-coccus" (from Modern , from .) In 1984, many bacteria formerly grouped in the genus ''Streptococcus'' were separated out into the genera '' Enterococcus'' and '' Lactococcus''. Currently, over 50 ...

Basic Research
Basic research, also called pure research or fundamental research, is a type of scientific research with the aim of improving scientific theory, theories for better understanding and prediction of natural or other phenomena. In contrast, applied research uses scientific theories to develop technology or techniques which can be used to intervene and ''alter'' natural or other phenomena. Though often driven simply by curiosity,"Curiosity creates cures: The value and impact of basic research
, National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Institutes of Health. basic research often fuels the technological innovations of applied science. The two aims are often practiced simultaneously in coordinated research and development. In addition to innovations, b ...
