Christiaan Bernhard Albinus
Christiaan Bernhard Albinus (20 March 1698/19 March 1699 – 5 April 1752) was a German-Dutch anatomist, son of the anatomist Bernhardus Albinus and brother of the brother of Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697–1770) and Frederick Bernhard Albinus (1715–1778). He served as a professor of anatomy at the University of Utrecht.
Albinus was born in Berlin and studied at the University of Leiden. He received his medical degree in 1772 and was appointed the next year in the University of Utrecht, becoming a professor there in 1724. He was involved in producing a second edition of William Cowper's anatomic atlas. He left anatomy in 1747 to become a magistrate in Utrecht.[1][2]
