PETER LUDVIG PANUM (1820 – 1885) was a Danish physiologist and pathologist born on the island of Bornholm in Rønne. He founded studies in exercise physiology at the University of Copenhagen. The Panum Institute in Copenhagen is named in his honor. After completing his medical studies in 1845, Panum assumed a position at Almindelig Hospital in Copenhagen. Later he studied with Rudolf Virchow at the University of Würzburg (1851), and with Claude Bernard in Paris (1852–53). From 1855 Panum was a professor at the University of Kiel, where he established a laboratory for physiology. Troubled by anti-Danish sentiment at Kiel, Panum relocated to the University of Copenhagen during 1862, where he spent the remainder of his career. He was President of the 8th International Medical Congress which was held in Copenhagen.
