Institute of Pharmacology you can find in a building named after Jan Evangelista Purkyne (17 December 1787 - 28 July 1869) - a Czech anatomist and physiologist.
He created the world's first Department of Physiology at the University of Breslau in Prussia in 1839 and the world's first official physiology laboratory in 1842.
He is best known for his 1837 discovery of Purkinje cells, large neurons with many branching dendrites found in the cerebellum.
He was one of the best known scientists of his time. Such was his fame that when people from outside Europe wrote letters to him, all that they needed to put as the address was "Purkyne, Europe".
