Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Mary Mullins is an outstanding developmental geneticist, who is forging the field of the maternal control of vertebrate development through genetic studies in the zebrafish. Through her forward genetic screens, she has identified the first genetically-defined factors acting to establish the vertebrate animal-vegetal axis, which prefigures the embryonic anterior-posterior axis. This new direction of her research, together with her continuing studies in elucidating BMP signaling function in patterning the dorsal-ventral axis, has made her a leader in the field of vertebrate axis formation and patterning.
