In 1805 he was back in his hometown of Montbéliard, where he settled as a doctor. In 1827 he became a professor at the University of Strasbourg (Faculté des Sciences), where he was a member of the medical faculty from 1829. After Cuvier's death in 1832, he published works from his estate. In 1837 he became professor of natural history at the Collège de France as successor to Cuvier.

Georg Büchner was his student.
