Educated at Heidelberg, German botanist Mathias Jacob Schleiden was the co-founder of the cell theory in botany, which asserted that plants were composed of cells. The other co-founder was German physiologist Theodor Schwann.

He mostly focused his attention on plants, and that they were made of cells.
