Linacre Chair of Zoology

Linacre Chair of Zoology

The Linacre Chair of Zoology in the University of Oxford was founded in 1857, initially as the Linacre Professorship of Physiology and then as the chair of Human and Comparative Anatomy, although its origins can be traced back a further 300 years, to the Linacre Lectureships at Merton College.It is named in honour of Thomas Linacre (1460 - 1524), Physician to Henry VIII and founder of the Royal College of Physicians.
