Gabriel Andral (1797-1876) was a French physician known as the founder of haematology, and credited with the integration of that science into clinical and investigative medicine. A member of the Académie Nationale de Médecine from 1823, he was the first physician to see the potential of chemical analysis of the blood, and is recognised as being the originator of the terms anaemia and hyperaemia.
