Heinrich Dreser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Dreser was a German chemist, responsible for the aspirin and heroin projects at Bayer AG. He was also known for regularly taking heroin, which finally led to a cardiac arrest.

Arthur Eichengrün claimed that the credit (and profits) for the discovery of aspirin were stolen from him by Dreser [1]
