life and work
Goll, son of a businessman, studied medicine at the University of Zurich and the University of Würzburg . In 1853 he received his doctorate in Zurich. He then worked for two years in Paris with the physiologist Claude Bernard . After his return to Zurich in 1855, he set up as a general practitioner in his own practice. Goll qualified as a professor in 1862 for materia medica (a forerunner of pharmacology as a subject) and became a lecturer at the university. From 1863 to 1869 he headed the Medical Polyclinic in Zurich, where he was active in the fight against the cholera epidemic in 1867. In 1885 he was appointed associate professor of pharmaceutical science (pharmacology), a position he held until 1901.
Goll was particularly interested in neuro- histological studies. In 1860 he was the first to describe the gracilis fasciculus (the medial part of the posterior cord system), a spinal cord tract, which is also called the Goll bundle or Goll cord after him .
Friedrich Goll was married to Eugenie Cellie from 1864.
