Richard Kretz
Richard Kretz (12 May 1865 – 13 May 1920) was an Austrian pathologist born in Bruck an der Mur, Styria. He is remembered for pathological research involving regenerative and degenerative processes that take place in liver cirrhosis.[1]
Kretz earned his medical doctorate at the University of Vienna, and following graduation worked as assistant to Hans Kundrat (1845-1893) at the clinic for pathological anatomy in Vienna. In 1887 he received his habilitation, and in 1893 relocated to Prague, where he succeeded Hans Chiari (1851-1916) as professor of pathology. From 1910 to 1913 he was professor of pathology at the University of Würzburg.
