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.
海伦·斯凯尔是剑桥大学发育生物学荣誉退休教授。她以果蝇作为模式生物进行研究，为肾脏系统的发育提供了深入见解。鉴于这项工作，她被授予2025年英国发育生物学学会（BSDB）的沃丁顿奖章，该奖章旨在表彰对英国发育生物学做出重大贡献的杰出人士。海伦在利物浦举行的“生物学家@100”会议上发表了获奖演讲。该会议是为庆祝生物学家公司成立100周年而组织的，其中包括BSDB的春季会议。在她演讲后的一周，海伦参观了生物学家公司办公室，向我们更多地介绍了她的研究以及这个奖项对她的意义。
