Location:
The Library of Animal Physiology is located within the B.P. Hasdeu Student Comples, between the Faculty of Geography and The Department of Zoology (The Museum of Zoology, Vivarium).
History:
Founded in 1937, The Library of Animal Physiology was established due to the efforts of a great scientist, Univ. Prof. Aristide Grădinescu.
A great contribution to the development of its collection was represented by the valuable donation made by Acad. Eugen A. Pora who, in 1979, donated an impressive number of books and periodicals.
Fields covered by the collections:
The library’s collections contain publications that cover a wide variety of both biological and related fields: human and animal physiology, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology, anatomy, histology, embryology, immunology, genetics, evolutionism, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, molecular ecology, medicine, nutrition, chemistry, physics etc.
