| Sumario: | Ángel Gallardo (1867-1934) was President of the Sociedad Científica Argentina (1895-1896), director of the Anales of the SCA in various periods, Director of the Museo de Historia de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (1897-1916), and President of the Academia Nacional de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales (1927-1934). These are just a few of the many important positions he held throughout his life. Initially trained as a Civil Engineer, his interest in Natural Sciences was almost parallel to his career in Engineering, which led him to occupy the chair of Botany and then that of Zoology at the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. In this last Faculty, in 1902 he received the title of Doctor of Natural Sciences.
His thesis, entitled “Interpretación dinámica de la división celular”, presented a new way of interpreting mitosis or karyokinesis, based on the interpretation of cells as entities capable of experiencing electromagnetic forces. Even though this conception is now outdated, at the time it received wide recognition and constituted a significant advance for the interpretation of cariokinetic phenomena. This work is dedicated to describing and contextualizing this theory, valuable both from the historical point of view and from the new visions regarding cellular behavior. |
