unusual facts about developmental biology



Gillian Small

In 1992, she became a faculty member at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, where she directed a laboratory as well as served as Director of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology.

Joachim Jose

Joachim Jose is professor for pharmaceutical and medical chemistry at the University of Münster, and focuses primarily on the research of bacterial development of drugs and biocatalysts by surface display.

Mikael Fortelius

His research involves the evolution of Eurasian land mammals and terrestrial environments during the Neogene, ecomorphology of ungulates, developmental biology, the function and evolution of mammalian teeth, and scaling problems (changes in size with growth or as species evolve).

Molecular self-assembly

Molecular self-assembly of nanoscale structures plays a role in the growth of the remarkable β-keratin lamellae/setae/spatulae structures used to give geckos the ability to climb walls and adhere to ceilings and rock overhangs.

Beatrice Mintz

Anne McLaren, a contemporary of Mintz's, who also excelled in developmental biology.

Edith Heard

She is a Professor at the Collège de France, holding the Chair of Epigenetics and Cellular Memory, and since 2010 has been Director of the Genetics and Developmental Biology department at the Institut Curie in Paris, France.

Haruko Obokata

When Obokata became a unit leader of the Riken Center for Developmental Biology, she changed the color of her laboratory's wall to pink and yellow and decorated the room with Moomin items and stickers.

March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology

The March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology is awarded once a year by the March of Dimes.

Recapitulation

Recapitulation theory, a scientific theory influential on but no longer accepted in its original form by both evolutionary and developmental biology, namely, that the congruence in form between the same embryonic developmental stages of different species is evidence that the embryos are repeating the evolutionary stages of their ancestral history

Stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency cell

The technique for producing STAP cells was developed by Haruko Obokata at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), while she was studying under Charles Vacanti, and then at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Japan.
