Admin History: Claudio Daniel Stern FRSB, FMedSci, FRS (born 9 February 1954 Montevideo, Uruguay) is a British biologist currently at University College London (UCL). Committee member of BSDB 1980s-90s [?]. In 1972 he moved to the United Kingdom and took a BSc (Hons) in Biological Sciences at the University of Sussex, where he remained for his PhD (1978), under the supervision of Brian Goodwin. He then moved to the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at University College London for postdoctoral training with Ruth Bellairs, a noted embryologist. Following his postdoc training, Stern held a University Demonstrator-ship in Anatomy at the University of Cambridge (1984-85) before being appointed Lecturer in the Department of Human Anatomy at the University of Oxford, and Student (College Fellow) of Christ Church (1985-1994). In 1994 he was recruited as Chairman of the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University in New York. He returned to the UK in 2001 as the "J Z Young" Professor and Head of the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology back at University College London. Among many activities he is currently a member of Scientific Council of Institut Pasteur in Paris (since 2012) and was President of the International Society of Developmental Biologists (ISDB) from January 2010 to December 2013. Stern's research is on the processes that establish cell diversity and pattern at early stages of development in vertebrate embryos.
