Famous scholars of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Glasgow - Joseph Black
As Professor of Medicine at the University of Glasgow, Black's medical research into dyspepsia and bronchial problems (of which he was a sufferer) led to his discovery of carbon dioxide and his subsequent theories about the nature of gases laid down foundations for modern chemistry.
