Widukind Lenz
Dr Widukind Lenz (1919 - 1995) was a German paediatrician who in 1961 identified the association of a thalidomide drug ("Contergan") with birth abnormalities.[1][2][3] Dr Lenz was physician-in-chief of the Eppendorfer Kinderklinik (1952), then chair of paediatrics at the University of Hamburg (1961), and director of the Institute of Human Genetics in Münster (1965).
In Australia, a similar observation had been made independently by Dr William McBride published in a brief letter in The Lancet (16 December 1961).
