Paul Carnot

Paul Carnot (16 January 1869, in Limoges – 1 April 1957, in Paris) was a French physician.

[1] In 1906 he coined the term hémopoïétine (hemopoietin) to define a humoral factor he believed was responsible for regulation of red blood cell production.

This being based on experiments with laboratory rabbits that he conducted with his graduate student Clotilde-Camille DeFlandre.

[3] Findings from their research were published in a paper titled Sur l'activité hémopoïétique du sérum au cours de la régénération du sang (On the hemopoietic activity of serum during the regeneration of blood).

[4] Carnot was the author of numerous treatises on a wide array of medical subjects.
