Louis Denis Jules Gavarret

Gavarret is remembered for the systemization and expansion of Pierre Charles Alexandre Louis' (1787-1872) statistical methodology in regards to medicine.

Pierre Louis' contention was to make medicine an exact science in diagnosis of a medical condition, and also to refute the "inductive approach" that was prevalent at the time.

He emphasized that the process would only work under certain conditions, such as the medical cases must be comparable, and there has to exist enough examples to reach an exact conclusion.

In 1840, Gavarret and Gabriel Andral were the first to show that blood composition varied depending on the pathological condition of the subject.

His later work largely dealt with topics in the fields of biophysics and physiology, that included research of acoustic and phonation phenomena.
