Albert Thierfelder

Ferdinand Albert Thierfelder (December 12, 1842 – January 22, 1908) was a German pathologist born in Meissen. He was the son of Stadtphysikus Johann Gottlieb Thierfelder (1799–1867), and was a younger brother to internist Theodor Thierfelder (1824–1904).

He studied medicine at the University of Rostock and University of Leipzig, earning his doctorate in 1870 with a dissertation on sweat gland adenoma, Ein Fall von Schweissdrüsen-Adenom. He spent several years as an assistant at the institute of pathology in Leipzig, and from 1876 to 1908 was a full professor of anatomic pathology in Rostock.[1] One of his better known assistants in Rostock was pathologist Otto Lubarsch (1860–1934).[2]

In 1884/85 he was chairman of Naturforschenden Gesellschaft (Natural History Society of Rostock).[1]
