He was a pioneer in the study of microscopic and cellular biology, and along with Pierre François Olive Rayer (1793-1867), Claude Bernard (1813-1878), and Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard (1817-1894) he established the Société de biologie in 1848. He was the first physician to describe the species Candida albicans (a diploid sexual fungus), and he discovered the role of osteoclasts in bone formation. He also contributed new information on the structure of glial cells and the electrical organs of Rajidae (electric skates).
