Gustave Roussy (24 November 1874 – 30 September 1948) was a Swiss-French neuropathologist born in Vevey, Switzerland. ==Career== As ''interne des hôpitaux'' in Paris, Roussy worked under neurologists Pierre Marie and Joseph Jules Dejerine. In 1907 he earned his doctorate from the University of Paris, and in 1925 was appointed professor of pathological anatomy at the ''Faculté de Médecine''. Later, he was named dean to the faculty of medicine at the university (1933). Roussy made several contributions in the field of neurology, in particular his investigations on the role of the thalamus and the autonomic nervous system. During World War I he was chief of neurology of the 7th Military Region Besançon, publishing extensively on his experiences with battle-related wounds. He was the author or co-author of a number of works on psychological and neuropsychological issues as a consequence of war. In 1946 he published a 1000-page monograph titled ''Traité de Neuroendocronologie'' in regards to his research in the field of neuroendocrinology. With Jean Camus (1872-1924) he performed important studies involving damage to the hypothalamus. Roussy was interested in the study and treatment of cancer, becoming director of the ''Institut du Cancer'' in 1930. Today in the Parisian suburb of Villejuif is the Institute Gustave-Roussy, a private institution devoted to oncology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gustave Roussy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
