Konrad Schäfer

Konrad Schäfer (7 January 1911 – after 1951) was a German physician who served as a researcher at the Institute for Aviation Medicine in Berlin. During the Doctors' Trial, he was accused of conducting human experimentation in the Dachau concentration camp, but was acquitted.

Schäfer studied at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin, and the University of Innsbruck, and completed his studies at Heidelberg University in December 1935. Schäfer received his doctorate in 1936, and from 1937 he worked part-time as an assistant at the chemotherapeutic laboratory of Schering AG.

He was later invited to the United States where he conducted research for the U.S. Army Air Forces at Randolph Air Field until 1951.
