    Biography of Jacques Amédée Doléris

    Jacques Amédée Doléris studied in Paris and became externe in 1872, interne 1874, and doctor of medicine 1879. He worked with Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) from 1878 to1881, was clinically active in 1883 and 1885-1898 was Chef de Service at the hospitals Oitié, Boucicvaut, and St.-Antoine.
