Gail R. Martin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Gail R. Martin, is in charge of the developmental biology program at the University of California, San Francisco. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, a member of the National Academy of Sciences (Cellular and developmental biology), and is the President of the Society for Developmental Biology.[1]
In 1981 Martin, working at the University of California, San Francisco,[2] and Martin Evans and Matthew Kaufman, working at the University of Cambridge,[3] England, separately and simultaneously discovered techniques for extracting stem cells from mouse embryos. Martin is attributed with coining the term "embryonic stem cell".
