Embryology at the Universities of Lwow and Wroclaw

Abstract

Embryological research at the University of Wroclaw covers hormonal control of metamorphosis, primarily invertebrate embryology and gametogenesis, vertebrate myogenesis and the developmental impact of external factors. Developmental studies at the University of Wroclaw are a continuation of those conducted at the former Jan Kazimierz (Johannes Casimirus) University in Lwow before World War II. The Wroclaw embryological school is best characterized as comparative embryology which approaches embryonic development experimentally as well as through the analysis of its natural diversity.

Academic chemistry and related fields in Wrocław: Density-equalizing mapping studies over the past decades

“…Directly after the war, thanks to the scientists from the University of Lviv, a new Polish state university was established. 6,7 Today, research related to academic chemistry is conducted at the University of Wroclaw, sister universities such as Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw Medical University or Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, and other research institutions.…”

Social sciences research in the Central European city of Wrocław: A density-equalizing mapping analysis

“…Being originally founded in 1702 its university constitutes the academic centre of Silesia since more than three centuries. The multi-national tradition of the 19th century with Polish, German, and Jewish students was destroyed during the era of Nazi Germany with more than 250 doctorate degrees being stripped by the Nazis [ 1 – 5 ]. After the second world war, Polish scientists opened a new academic life in Wrocław [ 1 – 5 ] and a number of separate universities were created: the University of Wrocław, the Wrocław University of Science and Technology, the Wrocław Medical University or the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences [ 1 – 5 ].…”
