Eugen Albrecht

His research largely dealt with the physical-chemical status of cells under normal and pathological conditions.

[1] In 1895 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Munich, where he was a student of Karl Wilhelm von Kupffer.

Afterwards, he was an assistant to Wilhelm Roux at the institute of anatomy in Halle, followed by work at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Naples (1897–98).

In 1904, he succeeded Karl Weigert as director of the Senckenberg Institute of Pathological Anatomy in Frankfurt.

[3] He is remembered for development of the concept of "hamartoma and choristoma" in an attempt to describe the relationship between abnormal formation and tumor.
