Josef Warkany (1902 to 1992) was a Vienna-born pediatrician who spent most of his career in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is known as the father of teratology, the study of birth defects. He completed his medical studies in Vienna and had published more than 23 articles by 1932, when he moved to Cincinnati on January 5 and remained there for the rest of his life. Two genetic syndromes, Warkany syndrome 1 and Warkany syndrome 2, are named for him. His honours included the Mead Johnson Award in 1943, the John Howland Award of the American Pediatric Society, described as the society's highest honor, and the March of Dimes Basil O'Connor Award in 1986. He died in 1992 at the age of 90 at a retirement community near Cincinnati.
