Aubrey Gorbman

Aubrey Gorbman was a prominent American biologist and a key figure in the study of evolutionary developmental biology. She is best known for her research on the role of genes in the development and evolution of vertebrates. Gorbman's influential work highlighted how genetic factors influence the growth and differentiation of embryonic structures, contributing to our understanding of how complex organisms develop from simple forms. Her research has had a lasting impact on both evolutionary theory and developmental biology, bridging gaps between genetics, evolution, and anatomy.
