(1855-1921) was a Swiss bacteriologist and pathologist.
Early life and education
He was born in Perroy to a French father and Swiss mother.[1] He graduated with a B.Sc. from the University of Geneva in 1872, followed by medical studies at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, where he earned his M.B., C.M. in 1882, and in 1905 was awarded an M.Sc. by the Victoria University of Manchester.[2][3]
Career
He was professor of pathology and bacteriology at Owens College, Manchester and then at the Victoria University of Manchester.[4] Delépine was appointed when Julius Dreschfeld moved from pathology to a chair in the principles and practice of medicine in 1891; Delépine became the first Procter professor of pathology and morbid anatomy.[5] His Swiss accent made understanding his lectures rather hard, but his reputation among the students was high. He organized the work of his department with great energy and then organized and opened a public health laboratory in 1891. This laboratory contributed much to the investigation of public health and problems of sanitation. Medical students were taught practical hygiene and bacteriology in the laboratory and could obtain a diploma in public health.[6] Delépine was from 1891 to 1910 professor of comparative pathology and bacteriology (he also taught pathology 1891–1904), then professor of public health and bacteriology from 1910 to 1921.[4]
