Corneille Jean François Heymans, a Belgian physiologist, received his doctorate in 1920 from Ghent University after studying at the Jesuit College of Saint Barbara. His pioneering research on how the body detects blood pressure and oxygen levels in the blood, then relays this information to the brain, earned him the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1938. Heymans’ contributions greatly enhanced our knowledge of cardiovascular physiology, establishing him as a leading figure in the field of medicine.
