Developmental biologist Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
A developmental biologist studies the processes that form and organize living bodies. Experiments on cell fate, signaling and morphogenesis connect changes in genes or environment to specific developmental outcomes. Comparing different organisms also reveals how developmental processes change through evolution.
