Alfred Blaschko

In 1902 with Albert Neisser he co-founded the Liga zur Bekämpfung der Geschlechtskrankheiten (German Society for the Fight against Venereal Diseases) in Berlin.Blaschko had based his findings on examinations of over 140 patients with nevoid and acquired linear skin diseases.In 1913 Blaschko gave a lecture on 'Syphilis: it's Dangers to the Community and the Question of State Control' at the Seventeenth International Congress of Medicine in London.[1] Blaschko was a committed internationalist, and in 1914 he refused to add his signature to a nationalistic declaration from German intellectuals and instead expressed hope for bridges between warring nations.[2] Hugh Blaschko became a biochemical pharmacologist best known for discovering how adrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), and dopamine were synthesized, stored, and metabolized in the body.
