Bernhard Schapiro, M.D.
  (born 1885)

Starting in 1922, Schapiro taught classes at the Institute for Sexual Science.

From 1924 to 1933, he was head of the department of physical sexual ailments and radiology departments. He treated skin and venereal diseases and conducted sexual consultation regarding contraception. His main area of interest was impotence and hormone research. He and Hirschfeld developed a remedy for impotence called Testifortan.

Schapiro lived for a period of time in the Institute and also had his own practice elsewhere. In 1933, Schapiro emigrated to Switzerland and then on to Israel. In the 1980s, his wife was still living in Jerusalem.
