Abraham Trembley (1710-1784) was a Swiss biologist and naturalist, best known for his pioneering work in the field of protozoology and for his studies of freshwater animals. He is particularly recognized for his research on the hydra, a small, simple freshwater organism. Trembley’s meticulous observations and experiments demonstrated the regenerative abilities of hydra, showing that they could regenerate lost body parts, which contributed to early understanding of regeneration and cellular biology.
