20251205 Master Lecture – Dr. Eric Wieschaus & Dr. Trudi Schüpbach
Dr. ERIC F. WIESCHAUS [ Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1995)]Speech Topic：Patterning and Cell Fate in Drosophila Embryos in the Absence of All Maternal Gradients
Dr. Gertrud M. Schupbach (Professor of Molecular Biology Emerita Department of Molecular Biology Princeton University)
Speech Topic：Drosophila as a Model for Analysis of Rasopathy Phenotypes
Dear Colleagues,
We are honored to welcome Dr. Eric Wieschaus, the 1995 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine ，and Dr. Trudi Schüpbach, also an AAAS Fellow, as our GIBM seminar speakers next Friday, December 5, 2025, at 3:10 PM.
Dr. Wieschaus’s pioneering work on the genetic control of early embryonic development established fundamental principles of pattern formation and transformed modern developmental biology. His landmark embryonic lethal screen, conducted with Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, revealed the genetic logic that governs body-plan specification and identified many genes with essential roles in development. Pathways such as Wnt, Notch, and Hedgehog, now central to our understanding of developmental mechanisms, are ones we frequently encounter in the literature, in seminars, and in our own research. Over subsequent decades, the relevance of these pathways to human disease has been demonstrated by generations of scientists, and these discoveries continue to guide contemporary biomedical research.
We look forward to an inspiring seminar and to your participation.
