Jan Wolff

Jan Wolff is a German medical doctor who, together with Israel Lyon Chaikoff, discovered the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, a compensatory mechanism preventing thyrotoxicosis in oversupply with iodine.[1]

Wolff was born in Germany, and after his father was barred from practicing medicine there, moved with his parents to the Netherlands, then to England, then to San Francisco, California.[2] He is a graduate of University of California, Berkeley.[2]
