He was Professor of theoretical mechanics (1835) and experimental physics (1841) at the Institut de Barcelona. He was also Professor of Chemistry (1845) at the Faculty of Science at the Universitat de Barcelona.

He was Professor of anthropology at the University of Barcelona since 1941 and rector in the same university from 1963 to 1965. He was the director of the Centro de Genética Animal y Humana del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas.
