Franciscus Sylvius (1614-1672), also known as Franz De Le Boe, was physician and scientist (chemist, physiologist and anatomist).
Sylvius also introduced the concept of chemical affinity as a way to understand the way the human body uses salts and contributed greatly to the understanding of digestion and of bodily fluids.
He researched the structure of the brain and discovered the cleft in the brain now known as Sylvius' fissure.

 Franciscus dele Bo Sylvius Biography / Biography of Franciscus dele Bo Sylvius Anatomy and Physiology Biography
Franciscus dele Bo Sylvius, the first physician in the Netherlands to defend that the blood circulated in the vessels, was a descendent from an aristocratic protestant family (Calvinist) originally from Flanders with a successful business tradition.
Sylvius had a special interest in brain anatomy, and his studies led to the discovery of the lateral cerebral fissure (cleft), also known as the Sylvian fissure, and the Sylvian angle, that is formed by the lateral cerebral fissure with a line perpendicular to the superior border of the brain hemisphere.
Sylvius made a synthesis of the chemical notions of Paracelce (Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim) and Van Helmont, and is considered the founder of the Iatrochemical School.

Its marriage with dry vermouth in the classic Martini is particularly successful, of course—though now that I’ve investigated gin’s origins a bit, I can’t help wondering if whoever created that signal cocktail wasn’t trying, at least subconsciously, to give back to gin some of the complexity and faint sweetness it possessed in its first incarnation.
Gin—or at least the precursor of gin as we now know it—was invented in 1650, when a Prussian-born physician and anatomist at the University of Leiden in Holland, one Franciscus Sylvius (né Franz de le Boë), experimentally infused distilled grain spirits with juniper berries for medicinal purposes.
The resulting potion, which Sylvius recommended as a cure for cold feet and insomnia, turned out to be good enough to drink.
