Otto Warburg (born October 8, 1883, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany—died August 1, 1970, West Berlin, West Germany) German biochemist awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1931 for his research on cellular respiration. After earning doctorates in chemistry at the University of Berlin (1906) and in medicine at Heidelberg (1911 ...

Jan 29, 2015 · He also introduced a theory for the “primary cause for cancer,” namely abnormal cell respiration, referred to as “the Warburg effect.” 7. Warburg determined that the “secondary source of cancer” was exogenous irritants such as nicotine, food additives, air pollution, and exhaust from motor vehicles. 2, 7.

Mar 8, 2016 · The work of Otto Heinrich Warburg has been having a profound influence on the way we think about tumor metabolism. Particularly, in the field of cancer research, we are using the term “Warburg effect” to denote a metabolic phenotype typical of many tumor cells, namely the high activity of anaerobic glycolysis, i.e., production of lactic ...

Otto Warburg is considered one of the world's foremost biochemists. His achievements include discovering the mechanism of cell oxidation and identifying the iron-enzyme complex, which catalyzes this process.
Aug 25, 2010 · In a paper published in 1928 which we reproduce here as a Classic, “The Chemical Constitution of Respiration Ferment” , Warburg described the essential “ferments” involved in cell respiration. Warburg defined ferments as “substances which effected chemical reaction in living matter” and which occurred in such small concentrations ...
