Federico Battelli ( Italian: Federico Battelli ; April 6, 1867 , Macerata Feltria - September 5, 1941 , Geneva ) is an Italian-Swiss physiologist and biochemist. Brother Angelo Battelli .
He studied medicine in Urbino and in Turin . In 1885, he began teaching at the Medical Faculty of the University of Turin , but then left Italy for political reasons and settled in Switzerland, taking the place of an assistant at the Department of Physiology at the University of Geneva under the guidance of Jean-Louis Prevo , and in 1913 he changed his tutor as a professor physiology and occupied it until the end of life.
At the turn of the century, together with Prévost, he died from electric shock and the effect of electricity on the heart muscle; these studies anticipated later discoveries in the field of cardiologic resuscitation [1] . In 1909, together with L. S. Stern, he first synthesized alcohol dehydrogenase [2] .
