Robert Chambers
1881-1957
His invention of the micro-manipulator for "cell surgery" allowed chromosomes to be dissected from the cell nucleus for the first time in 1912.
1881-1957
His invention of the micro-manipulator for "cell surgery" allowed chromosomes to be dissected from the cell nucleus for the first time in 1912.
1900-1971
A specialist in endocrine histology, hematology, and tissue cytology who did extensive work in vertebrate anatomy, cytology techniques and sense organs of the integument.
1921-2015
A renowned herpetologist, who worked as Curator of Reptiles at the Bronx Zoo in New York, researched at the American Museum of Natural History and taught at NYU.
1911-1992
He was first to discover that red blood cell production is controlled by hematopoietin (or erythropoietin), a regulatory hormone that induces production in response to an organism's physiologic need.
1919-2013
Studied Environmental Medicine and maintained the largest collection of Blepharisma (a genus of unicellular ciliate protists found in fresh and salt water) in the world.
1935-2011
Helped to establish the role of natural selection in the adaptive radiation of the Hawaiian Drosophila.
1966-2008
Involved in many aspects of research with Xiphophorus fish, specializing in gene mapping and the molecular genetics of melanoma formation in hybrid and non-hybrid fish.
1905-1989
An innovator who designed the first semi-automatic micromanipulator driven by servo-motors and simple computer circuits as well as device for repetitive microinjection of sub nanoliter volumes.
1921-1968
Specialized in the histology and cytology of pathological cell dynamics in tumor cells.
1921-2008
An authority on heterochromatin, and chromatin state and modification that is now acknowledged as a second code of DNA called the histone code. His early work on heterochromatin state was foundational in this area.
1931-2015
A world-renowned soil biochemist and microbial ecologist and AAAS Fellow. One of his major projects involved pioneering work on the persistence and ecological effects of transgenic plants and the insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis in soil.
1928-2011
The pioneer of the “neuropeptide” concept, studying their effects, especially adrenocorticotropic hormones and related brain peptides on neuromuscular function.
1889-1989
His studies uncovered the underlying principles of parasitology including basic host-parasite relationships and the co-evolution of parasites and their hosts.
1898-1969
Known for his research in the structure and life history of parasites found in animals and humans.
