Lewis Victor Heilbrunn

Lewis Victor Heilbrunn (January 24, 1892 - October 1959) was an influential American biologist.

Heilbrunn was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1927, and on his return from Europe began teaching at Pennsylvania University, a position he would hold for 30 years. His "Outline of Physiology" (originally published in 1937, revised in 1943 and 1952) became a standard foundational text in the field.
