According to Wikipedia, Ernst Klenk was a German biochemist, known as a pioneer in research on biolipids, their metabolism, and diseases caused by biolipid disorders. Biography Klenk's father had a farm and a brewery in the Black Forest. However, Klenk did not want to take over his father's brewery and went to secondary school in Tübingen. After serving in WW I as a soldier from 1914 to January 1919, he studied chemistry at the University of Tübingen. At the University of Tübingen's Institut für Physiologische Chemie he in 1923, under the supervision of Percy Brigl , received his Promotion as Dr. rer. nat.; the doctoral dissertation is titled Verhalten von Dipeptiden und Elastin zu Phtalsäureanhydrid . At the Institut für Physiologische Chemie Klenk was in 1923 appointed to the position of second assistant to the biochemist Hans Thierfelder and in 1926 completed his habilitation and was then appointed a Privatdozent. In 1930 he was appointed an professor extraordinaries in the chair of physiological chemistry at the Institut für Physiologische Chemie, which was directed by Franz Knoop after the death of Thierfelder. Klenk joined in 1933 the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and in 1934 the Sturmabteilung. After WW II there was controversy about human tissue samples used by him and other German researchers, such as Berthold Ostertag and Franz Seitelberger , and by the American physician and neuropathologist Webb Edward Haymaker .
