Emil Abderhalden

Emil Abderhalden (9 March 1877 – 5 August 1950) was a Swiss biochemist and physiologist.His main findings, though disputed already in the 1910s, were not finally rejected until the late 1990s.

Whether his misleading findings were based on fraud or simply the result of a lack of scientific rigor remains unclear.

Abderhalden's drying pistol, used in chemistry, was first described by one of his students in a textbook Abderhalden edited.
