Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) was a prominent German physician, pathologist, anthropologist, and politician, often regarded as one of the founders of modern cellular pathology. He is best known for his assertion that "omnis cellula e cellula," meaning that all cells arise from pre-existing cells. This principle significantly advanced the understanding of how diseases develop at the cellular level.
