Francois Magendie, French physiologist
Francois Magendie (1783-1855), French physiologist. Magendie graduated in medicine at Paris in 1808. In 1809, he described his experiments on plant-derived poisons. He used animals to determine the physiological effect of the toxin, then tried the compounds on himself. As a result, many medicinal compounds were introduced which had been derived from plant toxins, notably alkaloids, including strychnine, morphine, codeine and quinine. His wide-ranging research included the importance of proteins, emetic action, the absorption of drugs and white blood cells. He was an enthusiastic vivisectionist who avoided theory, and championed experimental physiology in France.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases Francois Magendie, a pioneering French physiologist whose groundbreaking work revolutionized the field of medicine. Born in 1783 and passing away in 1855, Magendie's contributions to physiological research spanned across two centuries. Magendie's experiments with plant-derived poisons paved the way for significant advancements in pharmacology. By meticulously studying the effects of toxins on animals before bravely testing them on himself, he introduced numerous medicinal compounds derived from plants such as strychnine, morphine, codeine, and quinine. These discoveries had a profound impact on medical practices and continue to shape drug research today. Beyond his exploration of plant toxins, Magendie delved into various aspects of physiology. His studies encompassed proteins' importance, emetic action (inducing vomiting), drug absorption mechanisms, and white blood cells' role in the body. Notably enthusiastic about vivisection – performing surgical procedures on live animals for scientific purposes – Magendie championed experimental physiology throughout France. This monochrome portrait captures the essence of this remarkable man who dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of human biology. With an intense gaze that reflects both determination and curiosity, Francois Magendie stands as an emblematic figure in medical history. As we admire this image by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of his invaluable contributions that have shaped our understanding of physiology and advanced modern medicine.
