Rudolf Virchow was a prominent German physician, pathologist, and anthropologist, often referred to as the father of modern pathology. Born in 1821, he is best known for his contributions to the understanding of disease processes, particularly his formulation of the cell theory in the context of pathology, encapsulated in the phrase "omnis cellula e cellula," meaning "every cell originates from another cell." Virchow also played a significant role in public health and social medicine, advocating for social reforms to improve health outcomes. His work laid the foundation for modern medical practices and the study of diseases.
