An interview with Kathryn Anderson

Abstract

is Professor and Chair of the Developmental Biology Program at the Sloan Kettering Institute in New York. Her lab investigates the genetic networks underlying the patterning and morphogenesis of the early mouse embryo. We caught up with Kathryn at the 2016 Society for Developmental Biology-International Society of Differentiation joint meeting in Boston, where she was awarded the Edwin G. Conklin medal.

Kathryn Anderson (1952–2020)

“…''Genetics doesn't exist in isolation, but without genetics, you don't know where your reality is,'' said Kathryn Anderson after she was awarded the 2016 Edwin G. Conklin medal by the Society for Developmental Biology (Maartens, 2016). Kathryn was a fearless geneticist who made seminal contributions to Drosophila embryogenesis, immunology, and mammalian development.…”
