Overview


Claude Bernard (July 12, 1813 - February 10, 1878) was a French medical doctor who aimed to establish a scientific method in medicine that relied on scientific experimentation. His experimentation was very broad but he was most well known for his study of the pancreas and the liver. The study of the physiological action of poisons was also of interest to him, his attention being devoted in particular to curare and carbon monoxide gas.
