Heinrich Dreser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heinrich Dreser (1860 – December 21, 1924 ) was a German chemist, responsible for the aspirin and heroin projects at Bayer AG. He was a key factor in the creation of the widely used modern drug, Codeine. On December 21, 1924, Dreser died of a stroke.
Arthur Eichengrün claimed that the credit (and profits) for the discovery of aspirin were stolen from him by Dreser. This however, has not been proven.[1]
