Who Karl Landsteiner So Google Doodle Today?

The main page of Google on Tuesday (06/14/2016) decorated with doodles to commemorate the 148th anniversary of Jewish descent scientists coming from Austria, Karl Landsteiner.

Google makes picture Karl Landsteiner, who was carrying a book and in the accompany table Lab. Doodle background is dominated by white background. At the rear there is the Google name by replacing one letter O with a symbol on blood type.

Who exactly Karl Landsteiner who made today's Google Doodle?

Karl Landsteiner was an important scientist of the 20th century, especially in the field of medical science. Discoveries concerning the classification of blood groups A, B, AB and O menghantarkannya Nobel Peace Prize winner in the field of medicine in 1930. He was born in Vienna Austria June 14, 1868, the son of a doctor of law and a well-known journalist who died since Karl was 6 years old.

Since he was a student Karl has been in the world of research. She has published research on the influence of diet on the composition of blood ash. As an adult he studied medicine at the University of Vienna and graduated in 1891. He was also active in the field of research in the Laboratory of Chemical Hantzsch at Zurich, Emil Fischer at Wurzburg Lab and Lab E Bambebger in Munich.

After traveling in Germany and Switzerland, he returned to Vienna in 1896 and worked as an assistant to Max von Gruber in the Hygiene Institute of Vienna. Year 1898-1908 he was an assistant at the Pathological Anatomy Department of the University of Vienna and worked with Prof A-inventor Weichselbaum pneumococcus bacteria cause meningitis.

Landsteiner actually been engaged in the field of physiology rather than anatomy. After 20 years of work he and his colleagues published a study on anatomy abnormal immune. He managed to find the factors of the human immune.

Landsteiner contribution in the field of pathology, histology and immunology huge. He did a careful observation. His discovery is very well known is the classification of blood used up to now.

In 1875 he menyakatan if human blood transfusion animals, then this foreign blood will clot and rupture in human blood vessels. He showed the same reaction also occurs in inter-human transfusions can cause shock or other reactions.
