From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gettler Boys were a group of toxicologists who studied under or worked with Alexander Gettler,[1][2] the "father of forensic toxicology in America."[3][4] They included Irving Sunshine,[2] Arthur Tiber,[5] Abraham Friereich and Henry Freimuth.[6] Many Gettler Boys went on to become prominent toxicologists in their own right.[1]
