François Henri Hallopeau

He studied medicine under Alfred Vulpian and Sigismond Jaccoud.

He became a member of the Académie de Médecine in 1893.

[1][2] He also coined the word antibiotique in 1871 to describe a substance opposed to the development of life.

[citation needed] Selman Waksman was later credited with coining the word antibiotic to describe such compounds that were derived from other living organisms, such as penicillin.
