Abstract:
Helen Skaer is an Emeritus Professor of Developmental Biology at the University of Cambridge. Using Drosophila as her model organism, her research has provided insight into the development of the renal system. In recognition of this work, she was awarded the 2025 British Society for Developmental Biology's (BSDB) Waddington Medal, which recognises outstanding individuals who have made major contributions to UK Developmental Biology. Helen gave her award lecture at the Biologists @ 100 conference in Liverpool. The conference was organised to celebrate 100 years of The Company of Biologists, and it incorporated the BSDB's Spring Meeting. The week following her lecture, Helen visited The Company of Biologists office to tell us more about her research and what this award means to her.
