Von Wettstein came to this country from Denmark in 1996 when regulations there forced him to retire owing to age. Here in the land of the free, von Wettstein can pursue research into wheat strains and celiac disease. At age 82 von Wettstein shows no sign of slowing down. In addition to running a research laboratory of seven, he returns to Europe from time to time to see his family and ski in Austria.) <https://news.wsu.edu/2012/04/03/researcher-explores-solutions-to-wheat-intolerance/> US National Library of Medicine, viewed Feb. 12, 2020: Diter von Wettstein (Dietrich Holger Wettstein Ritter von Westersheim): September 20, 1929-April 13, 2017 (Diter was born on September 20, 1929, in Göttingen, Germany, into an elite academic family.) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5603627/> |
