Von Dungern worked at the Heidelberg Institute for Experimental Cancer Research where he was the director of the scientific section. Ludwik Hirszfeld, the co-discoverer of the heritability of ABO blood groups, was his research assistant from 1907 to 1911.[2] Hirszfeld, in his work Historia (1967), described von Dungern as "a spiritual poet who had to fall in love with a problem in order to be able to work on it ... He was a flame burning from within."[note 1][3]

Notes
edit- ^ Mazumdar (2002) states that "many passages in Hirszfeld's work sound like blood grouping through the eyes of Goethe's Werther"
