Moquin-Tandon was professor of zoology at Marseilles from 1829 until 1833, when he was appointed professor of botany and director of the botanical gardens at Toulouse. In 1850 he was sent by the French government to Corsica to study the island's flora. In 1853 he moved to Paris, later becoming director of the Jardin des Plantes and the Académie des Sciences.

His books included L'Histoire Naturelle des Iles Canaries (1835-44), co-authored with Philip Barker Webb and Sabin Berthelot.
