Friedrich Otto Vogel (6 March 1925, Berlin – 5 August 2006, Heidelberg) was a German human geneticist. Together with Arno Motulsky he established the journal Human Genetics in 1964, of which he remained editor-in-chief for more than 25 years.[1] He was a member of the Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften.[2] In 1962, Vogel was named professor of human genetics and founding chair of the Institute of Anthropology and Human Genetics at Heidelberg University.[3] Vogel became the leading German human geneticist and played a significant role in the rehabilitation of this field after the misuse of genetics by the Nazi regime (1932-1945).[4]
