Hilde Mangold

Hilde Mangold ( * 1898 in Gotha, † December 7, 1924; born Pröscholdt ) was a German biologist.

Hilde Pröscholdt studied chemistry in 1918 at the University of Jena in 1919 and zoology at Otto zur Strassen at the University of Frankfurt. In 1920 she moved to the Zoological Institute of the University of Freiburg. There she received her doctorate in 1923 with Hans Spemann.

Hilde Mangold discovered in 1922 along with the so-called Spemann Spemann organizer, a cellular organization center for the axis formation during vertebrate development. As a PhD student of Spemann she led from 1919 to 1922 by the demanding experiments. The discovery was published in 1924 jointly by Spemann and Mangold, and led to the 1935 Nobel Prize for Spemann.

From 1921 she was married to zoologist Otto Mangold. Hilde Mangold died in 1924 in an accident after the birth of her son.
