Rudolph Virchow Schievelbein, a small town in Eastern Pomerania. He studied medicine in Berlin as a pupil of Johannes Mueller, and went in 1849 to Würzburg, where, under the influence of Koelliker, and Leydig the pathologist, he laid the foundation of an entirely new branch of medical science—that of 'cellular pathology.' Since 1856 he has filled the principal Chair of Pathology at Berlin. In 1892 he received the Copley medal of the Royal Society.
