Schrader, Franz, Mitosis, signed by Molecular Biologist Erwin Chargaff

Franz Schrader (1891–1962) was a pioneering American cytologist and geneticist, known for his groundbreaking studies on mitosis and chromosomal behavior. His observations and experimental work significantly advanced our understanding of cell division and its role in heredity and development. Schrader spent much of his career at Columbia University, where he was celebrated for his teaching and mentorship. His research focused on chromosomal structure, spindle formation, and the dynamics of mitotic and meiotic processes, often utilizing advanced microscopic techniques. Schrader’s work bridged cytology and genetics during a critical period in the development of modern biology. His textbook 'Mitosis' became a definitive reference in the field, emphasizing his ability to distill complex processes into clear and comprehensive explanations.

Schrader, Franz, Mitosis, third edition. 110pp. 1 vols. 8vo. 1949, from the library of molecular biologist Erwin Chargaff, with his ownership signature.
