Grave marker of Philipp Phoebus at Alten Friedhof in Gießen.
His interests soon turned to pharmacology. In 1835 he relocated to Stolberg, where along with a medical practice, he conducted pharmacological and toxicological research. In 1843 he was appointed chair of pharmacology at the University of Giessen, a position he held until health reasons forced an early retirement in 1865. Phoebus was one of the 56 founding members of the Freies Deutsches Hochstift (Free German Foundation) in 1859.[1]
During his later years he worked hard for reforms within the pharmacy system. He was an advocate for the training and employment of female pharmacy assistants, and believed in an academic qualification of pharmacists.[2] He also strove (unsuccessfully) for the creation of an international "Pharmacopoeia Europaea".
