Ernest Beutler is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Hematologist and geneticist who advanced the treatment of inherited blood and metabolic diseases.
Beutler was a hematologist and geneticist who advanced the treatment of inherited blood and metabolic diseases: he clarified G6PD deficiency, showed that women are genetic mosaics (early evidence for X-chromosome inactivation), and developed cladribine, a curative therapy for hairy-cell leukaemia. Born into a Jewish family in Berlin, he fled Nazi Germany with his family in 1935, settling in the United States, and led research at Scripps.
