  • Felix Jacob Marchand was a German pathologist who was born in Halle an der Saale. He studied medicine in Berlin, and later became an assistant at the pathological institute in Halle. In 1881 he became a professor of pathological anatomy in Giessen, and two years later garnered the same position at Marburg. In 1900 he succeeded pathologist Felix Victor Birch-Hirschfeld (1842-1899) at the University of Leipzig. In 1904 Marchand is credited with coining the term atherosclerosis from the Greek "athero", meaning gruel, and "sclerosis", meaning hardening, to describe the fatty substance inside a hardened artery. His name is lent to the eponymous "Marchand's adrenals", which is accessory adrenal tissue in the broad ligament of the uterus. Among his written works is a 1915 textbook on pathology he co-authored with Ludolf von Krehl (1861-1937), called ''Handbuch der allgemeinen Pathologie.
  • Felix Jacob Marchand war ein deutscher Mediziner. Er war der Sohn des Chemikers Richard Felix Marchand (1813–1850). Marchand studierte in Berlin und wurde 1870 zum Dr. med. promoviert. 1879 habilitierte er sich zum Thema Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Ovarien-Tumoren. 1881 wurde er ordentlicher Professor in Gießen, 1883 in Marburg und von 1900 bis 1921 – als Nachfolger von Felix Victor Birch-Hirschfeld – in Leipzig.
