Thomas Willis (1621-1675) was the leader of the "iatrochemists" in England. The "iatrochemists" believed the body as a series of chemical reactions.

He was Regius Professor at Cambridge.In 1650 Glisson published Tractatus de Rachitte..., compilation of what was known about rickets plus Glisson's new observations.

Later (1654) Glisson authored Anatomia Hepatis, an extensive tratise about the liver and its deseases
