Història de l'ensenyament de la biologia a la universitat Authors Mercè Durfort i Coll Abstract History of the teaching of biology at the university. This is a brief historic review of the academic studies of Biology at the University of Barcelona since the Natural Sciences curricula, with special emphasis on the present degrees in Biology and Biomedicine; a reference is also made of these academic degrees in other Universities of the Catalan Countries. In particular, it is pointed out how the methodological progress, resulting from the application of the new physical and fine chemistry technologies, has expanded the available information in the different biological fields, sometimes changing particularly well-established concepts. The emergence of new specialties to satisfy social demands as the genetic characterization of some illnesses or the study of the neurodegenerative processes appearing in an increasingly long-lived human population has emphasized the importance of those subjects related to neurobiology or to different pathologies, promoting in most cases their inclusion in the curricula. The interdisciplinary nature acquired by the different subjects since a long time, has been highly reinforced recently. In this review there is, thus, a grateful acknowledgment to those public and private institutions, which, in a certain degree, were responsible for the maintenance and improvement of the biological studies in a period when the University had a much harder «struggle for the existence» than even today. Among others, the Institució Catalana dHistòria Natural, the Societat Catalana de Biologia and the Laboratori Biològic de Sarrià are mentioned. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
