Behring was born in Hansdorf, Kreis Rosenberg, Province of Prussia. It is stated that a case of diphtheria was handled by Emil’s colleagues at the Berlin University. Born on March 15, 1854, Emil grew up with twelve siblings and had a modest upbringing. Furthermore, injections of blood serum from an animal that had been given a chance to develop antitoxins to tetanus or diphtheria could confer immunity to the disease on other animals, and even cure animals that were already sick. They proposed that the serum obtained from living beings resistant to tetanus, was capable of providing immunity to other living organisms, when injected into their blood stream. These antitoxins could protect against and cure the diseases in non-immunized animals. Althoughhis father planned for him to become a minister, young Behring had an inclination toward medicine. To cite this section Two years later he embarked on an academic career at the ‘University of Marburg’ as the Professor of Hygiene. Falling in line with family traditions, he enrolled at the ‘University of Königsberg’ to pursue higher education in theology. Since the diphtheria treating serum was extracted from guinea pig and from the sheep, it is not sure whether there was enough serum during that time for medication. Besides much practical work he found in Posen time to study (at the Chemical Department of the Experimental Station) problems connected with septic diseases.
They led to the well-known development of a new kind of therapy for these two diseases. Though the young kid was intrigued by the subject of medicine, the family’s financial condition prevented him from pursuing medicine at University. The former had been a scourge of the population, especially children, whereas the other was a leading cause of death in wars, killing the wounded. He was already in a weakened state when he contracted pneumonia in 1917. The following year, he penned ‘Die praktischen Ziele der Blutserumtherapie and der Immunisierungsmethoden zum Zwecke der Gewinnung von Heilserum’ and ‘Das Tetanusheilserum and seine Anwendung auf tetanuskranke Menschen’. It was later edited and republished in Nobel Lectures. He started studying iodoform and its derivatives for disinfection. His status was upgraded in the society. Then one of Behring's teachers, recognizing great promise, arranged for his admission to the Army Medical College in Berlin, where he was able to obtain a free medical education in exchange for futuremilitary service. Successful treatment started in 1894, after the production and quantification of antitoxin had been optimized. The most important ones being development of antitoxins to cure sepsis and diphtheria; both the diseases were cause of numerous deaths among the humans. Emil’s father wanted him to be a minister or a teacher, a profession which was very much in existence then. A chemical company preparing to undertake commercial production and marketing of the diphtheria serum offered a contract to both men, but von Behring maneuvered to claim all the considerable financial rewards for himself. at the time of the award and first Behring and Kitasato dubbed these substances antitoxins. Several outreach organisations and activities have been developed to inspire generations and disseminate knowledge about the Nobel Prize.
He had just turned 63 years of age then. Behring died at Marburg, Hessen-Nassau, on 31 March 1917. Von Behring is believed to have cheated Paul Ehrlich out of recognition and financial reward in relation to collaborative research in diphtheria. In 1890 he published an article with Kitasato Shibasaburō reporting that ...

He became famous for his works and in the year 1895 was made the official of the Legion of Honor. Emil Adolf Behring was born on March 15, 1854 at Hansdorf, Deutsch-Eylau as the eldest son of the second marriage of a schoolmaster with a total of 13 children. However, Behring's diphtheria antitoxin did not yield consistent results. Then, in 1914, Behring established his own company to manufacture serums and vaccines. A commercial firm in which he had a financial interest built a well-equipped laboratory for his use in Marburg, Germany. The army promptly sent Behring to Posen (now Poznan, Poland), then to Bonn in1887, and finally back to Berlin in 1888. Emil Adolf Behring was a renowned German physiologist who was the first recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. From the year 1892, Emil was supported by Brüning, Lucius and Farbwerke Meister who also helped him financially for the research work. Emil was prepped in orthodox studies at the Gymnasium of Hohenstein from where he completed his early education. Yet despite all outward appearances of personal and professional success, Behring was subject to frequent bouts of serious depression, some of which required sanatorium treatment.
