Perspective.

Wolpert L .


???displayArticle.abstract???
I am a developmental biologist, but I started off as a civil engineer. I did some research on soil mechanics but decided to change to biology. A friend changed my life when he told me about the mechanics of cell division, on which I did my PhD at Kings College. I then worked on the morphogenesis of the sea urchin embryo and became interested in how embryos are patterned, and I proposed positional information as a basic mechanism. I was a professor at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, where we concentrated on how the chick limb developed.
