C. H. Waddington refers to Conrad Hal Waddington, a British developmental biologist and geneticist known for his innovative contributions to the fields of genetics and embryology. He is particularly recognized for his work on "epigenetics," a term he coined in the 1940s to describe the processes that lead to the regulation of gene expression and the development of organisms, beyond the influences of the genetic code itself.
