In 1893 he discovered that a diet of polished (overkvernet) rice causes beriberi, and was able to produce the disease experimentally in birds. He discovered vitamin B. Together with Sir Frederick Hopkins from Great Britain, he was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, for his discovery of the antineuritic vitamin. Christiaan Eijkman was the seventh child of Johanna Alida Pool and Christiaan Eijkman, a boarding-school proprietor in the small Gelderland town of Nijkerk, situated at the northern border of the Veluwe region. Eijkman had several gifted brothers. One became a chemist and a professor at Tokyo and Groningen; another was a linguist; and a third was one of the first roentgenologists in the Netherlands. A year later, in 1859, the Eijkman family moved to Zaandam, where his father was appointed head of a newly founded school for advanced elementary education. It was here that Christiaan and his brothers received their early education.

Nov. 5, 1930, Utrecht), Dutch physician and pathologist whose demonstration that beriberi is caused by poor diet led to the discovery of vitamins. Together with Sir Frederick Hopkins, he was awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Eijkman received a medical degree from the University of Amsterdam (1883) and served as a medical officer in the Dutch East Indies (1883-85). He then worked with Robert Koch in Berlin on bacteriological research and in 1886 returned to Java to investigate the cause of beriberi. Appointed director of the research laboratory for pathological anatomy and bacteriology and of the Javanese Medical School (1888) in Batavia (now Jakarta), he sought a bacterial cause for beriberi. In 1890 polyneuritis broke out among his laboratory chickens. Noticing this disease's striking resemblance to the polyneuritis occurring in beriberi, he was eventually (1897) able to show that the condition was caused by feeding the fowl a diet of polished, rather than unpolished, rice. Eijkman believed that the polyneuritis was caused by a toxic chemical agent, possibly originating from the action of intestinal microorganisms on boiled rice. He maintained this theory even after his successor in Batavia, Gerrit Grijns, demonstrated (1901) that the problem was one of nutritional deficiency. Eijkman returned to The Netherlands in 1896 to become professor of public health and forensic medicine at the University of Utrecht (1898-1928).

Extractions: Executive summary: Research led to discovery of vitamins Military service: Netherlands Indies Army, medical officer Studying beriberi, a disease of the peripheral nerves, Dutch physician and pathologist Christiaan Eijkman was able to prove that the disease was not caused by blood contamination, respiratory metabolism, perspiration, or seasonal or temperature variation. He suspected the disease was caused by an unknown bacteria, but his eventual discovery of its true cause was accidental. Eijkman's findings stirred a great deal of attention, and subsequent research soon showed that a particularly vital amine (organic compound) was present in the skin of rice, and that this compound was removed when the rice was polished. Chemist Casimir Funk shortened the term "vital amine" to coin a new word, vitamin. For his contributions to the discovery of vitamins, Eijkman won the 1929 Nobel Prize for Medicine, sharing the prize with Frederick Hopkins . Funk, perhaps unfairly, was never given full credit for his work.
