Abstract

Helen Skaer is an Emeritus Professor of Developmental Biology at the University of Cambridge. Using Drosophila as her model organism, her research has provided insight into the development of the renal system. In recognition of this work, she was awarded the 2025 British Society for Developmental Biology's (BSDB) Waddington Medal, which recognises outstanding individuals who have made major contributions to UK Developmental Biology. Helen gave her award lecture at the Biologists @ 100 conference in Liverpool. The conference was organised to celebrate 100 years of The Company of Biologists, and it incorporated the BSDB's Spring Meeting. The week following her lecture, Helen visited The Company of Biologists office to tell us more about her research and what this award means to her.

Helen Skaer的采访。

Helen Skaer是剑桥大学发育生物学名誉教授。使用果蝇作为她的模式生物，她的研究为肾脏系统的发展提供了见解。为了表彰她的工作，她被授予2025年英国发育生物学学会（BSDB）沃丁顿奖章，该奖章旨在表彰对英国发育生物学做出重大贡献的杰出个人。海伦在利物浦举行的生物学家100周年大会上发表了获奖演讲。这次会议是为了庆祝生物学家公司成立100周年而组织的，它包括了BSDB的春季会议。讲座结束后的一周，海伦参观了生物学家公司的办公室，告诉我们更多关于她的研究以及这个奖项对她的意义。

期刊介绍： Development’s scope covers all aspects of plant and animal development, including stem cell biology and regeneration. The single most important criterion for acceptance in Development is scientific excellence. Research papers (articles and reports) should therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis or address a significant question, and should provide novel perspectives that advance our understanding of development. We also encourage submission of papers that use computational methods or mathematical models to obtain significant new insights into developmental biology topics. Manuscripts that are descriptive in nature will be considered only when they lay important groundwork for a field and/or provide novel resources for understanding developmental processes of broad interest to the community. Development includes a Techniques and Resources section for the publication of new methods, datasets, and other types of resources. Papers describing new techniques should include a proof-of-principle demonstration that the technique is valuable to the developmental biology community; they need not include in-depth follow-up analysis. The technique must be described in sufficient detail to be easily replicated by other investigators. Development will also consider protocol-type papers of exceptional interest to the community. We welcome submission of Resource papers, for example those reporting new databases, systems-level datasets, or genetic resources of major value to the developmental biology community. For all papers, the data or resource described must be made available to the community with minimal restrictions upon publication. To aid navigability, Development has dedicated sections of the journal to stem cells & regeneration and to human development. The criteria for acceptance into these sections is identical to those outlined above. Authors and editors are encouraged to nominate appropriate manuscripts for inclusion in one of these sections.
