| Gerhard Domagk |
Gerhard Johannes Paul Domagk (30 October 1895 – 24 April 1964) was a
German pathologist and bacteriologist credited with the discovery of
Sulfonamidochrysoidine (KI-730) – the first commercially available
antibiotic (marketed under the brand name Prontosil) – for which he
received the 1939 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Domagk was born in Lagow, Brandenburg, the son of a school headmaster. Until he was 14, he attended school in Sommerfeld (now Lubsko, Poland). Domagk studied medicine at the University of Kiel, but volunteered to serve as a soldier in World War I, where he was wounded in December 1914, working the rest of the war as medic. After the war, he finished his studies, and worked at the University of Greifswald, where he researched infections caused by bacteria. In 1925, he followed his professor Walter Gross to the University of Münster (WWU) and became professor there himself. He also started working at the Bayer laboratories at Wuppertal. The same year, he married Gertrud Strübe. Later they would have three sons and a daughter.
