The Jack S. Ackerman papers contain notes and documents created by Jack S. Ackerman, a surgeon and Obstetrician who was the first human subject to test warfarin as a blood anticoagulant. Ackerman's first episode of thrombosis was in 1944. Ackerman began taking warfarin to prevent blood clots in 1946 and lived until 1977. The compounds fundamental in dicoumarol and later warfarin were first synthesized on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in 1940. Ackerman kept meticulous notes throughout the trial, in which he was both participant and investigator along with his colleague Karl Paul Link. Ackerman's schedules and notes are present in the collection as well as some parcel documents and a lecture given by Link about the synthesis of dicoumarol.
