From 1808 to 1822 he worked at the Hôtel-Dieu. In 1820 he was awarded the prize for physiological research by the Académie des Sciences and the following year gained a special prize for his two-volume work on the comparative anatomy of the brains of vertebrate animals. In 1822, he was appointed chief medical officer at the Hôpital de la Pitié. He was elected to the Académie de médecine in 1822 and to the Académie des Sciences in 1828. In 1839, he preceded Flourens as professor of comparative anatomy at the Jardin des Plantes and two years later became president of the Académie des sciences. Serres studied the comparative anatomy of a number of vertebrate organs. He noted that many organs start from a number of isolated centers, which eventually unite to form a single adult organ. In his general approach to the nature of life and the harmony between the organes he was clearly influenced by Cuvier, who mentioned Serres’s work with admiration. Serres’s theoretical position was more closely akin to that of Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Serres believed that there was only one underlying animal type and that in the course of their development, the organs of the higher animals repeated the form of the quivalent organs in lower organisms“ (DSB). – Rücken alt restauriert, Deckel stärker gebräunt, berieben und fleckig, durchgehend braunfleckig, noch gutes Exemplar.
