Was he murdered – or was he not?
The world-renowned renaissance astronomer Tycho Brahe died on
October 24th, 1601 after 11 days of illness. Shortly after, rumors
circulated about foul play in connection with his death. The rumors
would not stop, and in 2004, a popular book, Heavenly Intrigue,
revived the murder theory by claiming that it was Johannes Kepler
who murdered Tycho Brahe by poisoning him with mercury.

In 2010, a bi-national team of scientists was permitted to open the
grave of Tycho Brahe and procure forensic samples in order to cast
light on the cause of his death. Kaare Lund Rasmussen will explain
the analytical chemistry which led to a clear conclusion as to whether
Tycho Brahe was murdered by mercury or not.
Hans Petter Hougen
Professor, ph.D
Professor of forensic medicine, University of Copenhagen &
Chief forensic pathologist of East Denmark
The coroner – from fiction to fact
We know the coroner from television, the movies and mystery novels.
The coroner solves the mystery, oftentimes alone. Is that purely
fiction? In this lecture, Hans Petter Hougen will talk about the work
that coroners do, and offer examples from his many years working
both in Denmark and abroad. In some ways, the job is just as the
literature portrays it – and then again, not quite.
AmCham Denmark’s Analytical Instruments Committee is pleased to announce the
13th annual Executive Seminars in Analytical Chemistry: ESAC 2013.
ESAC brings together manufacturers, leading scientific researchers, progressive vendors
and cutting-edge technology within the field of analytical instruments.
Experiences, methods, results and the latest developments will be presented within four
core areas: Life Science / Biotech, Pharmaceutical, Food / Environmental and Clinical/
Forensic applications.
