Joan Or\u00f3 va n\u00e9ixer a\u00a0<\/span>la Bordeta<\/span>.\u00a0Fill d’una fam\u00edlia de flequers de Lleida, des de petit es va mostrar interessat pel paper de la\u00a0<\/span>humanitat<\/span>\u00a0a l’<\/span>univers<\/span>. Or\u00f3 es llicenci\u00e0 en\u00a0<\/span>ci\u00e8ncies qu\u00edmiques<\/span>\u00a0a la\u00a0<\/span>Universitat de Barcelona<\/span>\u00a0el 1947. L’any 1952 emigr\u00e0 als\u00a0<\/span>Estats Units<\/span>\u00a0i el 1956 es doctor\u00e0 en\u00a0<\/span>bioqu\u00edmica<\/span>\u00a0al Baylor College of Medicines de\u00a0<\/span>Houston<\/span>. L’any 1955 ingress\u00e0 a la\u00a0<\/span>Universitat de Houston<\/span>, i el 1963 en va ser nomenat catedr\u00e0tic. La seva\u00a0<\/span>tesi doctoral<\/span>\u00a0estudiava el\u00a0<\/span>metabolisme<\/span>\u00a0de l’<\/span>\u00e0cid f\u00f2rmic<\/span>\u00a0en els\u00a0<\/span>teixits animals<\/span>. Tamb\u00e9 va fer importants estudis sobre els\u00a0<\/span>compostos org\u00e0nics<\/span>\u00a0existents en\u00a0<\/span>sediments<\/span>\u00a0terrestres,\u00a0<\/span>meteorits<\/span>\u00a0i mostres de la\u00a0<\/span>Lluna<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A partir del 1963 va col\u00b7laborar en diversos projectes d’investigaci\u00f3 espacial de la\u00a0<\/span>NASA<\/span>, com el\u00a0<\/span>projecte Apol\u00b7lo<\/span>\u00a0per a l’an\u00e0lisi de les roques i altres mostres de material de la\u00a0<\/span>Lluna<\/span>, i el\u00a0<\/span>programa Viking<\/span>\u00a0per al desenvolupament d’un instrument per a l’an\u00e0lisi molecular de l’atmosfera i la mat\u00e8ria de la superf\u00edcie del planeta\u00a0<\/span>Mart<\/span>. Aplicant els seus coneixements de\u00a0<\/span>qu\u00edmica<\/span>\u00a0i\u00a0<\/span>bioqu\u00edmica<\/span>, va poder explicar els resultats d’an\u00e0lisi de mostres marcianes que s’havien interpretat pr\u00e8viament com a resultat de l’acci\u00f3 d’\u00e9ssers vius. Va participar tamb\u00e9 com a membre de la Junta Espacial de l’Acad\u00e8mia Nacional de Ci\u00e8ncies, que assessora el Govern dels EUA sobre els projectes d’exploraci\u00f3 espacials. Aquests projectes inclouen entre d’altres, l’estaci\u00f3 internacional en \u00f2rbita terrestre, i el viatge tripulat al planeta Mart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Va tornar a\u00a0<\/span>Catalunya<\/span>\u00a0l’any 1980 per col\u00b7laborar en els nous plans de desenvolupament energ\u00e8tic i l’estudi de fonts alternatives d’energia. Va ser diputat de\u00a0<\/span>CiU<\/span>\u00a0per Lleida al\u00a0<\/span>Parlament de Catalunya<\/span>\u00a0(1980-1981) i assessor en temes cient\u00edfics del\u00a0<\/span>president de la Generalitat<\/span>. Les condicions que el pa\u00eds li oferia no li permetien fer una recerca de qualitat i va tornar a Houston, fins a la jubilaci\u00f3, el 1994. Va morir a Barcelona el 2 de setembre de 2004. Incinerat al Cementiri de Montju\u00efc, les cendres foren portades al cementiri de\u00a0<\/span>les Borges Blanques<\/span>, amb les restes de la seva esposa.<\/span><\/p>\n
