The article describes the life path of Rudolf Virchow (1821—1902), an outstanding German pathologist, one of the founders of scientific medicine, the creator of the scientific system known as cellular pathology, the author of numerous works on general biology, anthropology, ethnography, and archaeology. It assesses the contribution of the scientist to the development of science and culture in the nineteenth century. A relationship is shown between the formation of a modern scientific approach in medical sciences and the multifaceted activities of Rudolf Virchow.
