Jean François Clément Morand (born April 28, 1726 in Paris , † August 13, 1784 ibid) was a French chemist, mineralogist and medicin.

Life

The son of the surgeon Sauveur François Morand and Marie Clemence Guerin studied from 1743 and obtained his doctorate in his hometown in 1750. From 1750 he held lectures on anatomy and obstetrics at the midwifery school as a professor, became an adjunct at the Hôtel des Invalides , professor at the medical faculty and member of the Académie des sciences . He was also a member of other learned societies in Europe.

Morand is also not insignificant as a chemist and mineralogist, although his work L'art d'exploiter les mines de charbon de terre (6 sections, Paris 1769–1779) should be mentioned here.

His actually medical work consists only of smaller essays, such as: Question de médecine sur les hermaphrodites (Paris 1748), Lettre sur l'instrument de Roger Roonhuysen (Paris 1755), Recherches anatomiques sur la structure et l'usage du thymus. (Memoria de l'Acad. Des sc. De Paris, 1759), Mémoire pour servir à l'histoire naturelle et médicale des eaux de Plombières (ibid. 1768, T. V) and Histoire d'une maladie tres-singulare arrivée à deux bouchers de l'Hôtel royal des Invalides (ibid. 1766).
