Claude Desplan is Silver Professor in the Department of Biology and Director of the Center for Developmental Genetics at New York University. A biochemist by training, Claude began working on Drosophila embryogenesis in the 1980s, and his work now focuses on how neural diversity is established during the development of the Drosophila visual system. In 2020, Claude was awarded the Society for Developmental Biology's Edwin G. Conklin Medal, which recognises both his outstanding contribution to developmental biology research and his excellence in mentorship. We recently met with Claude (via Zoom) to find out more about his career and his research.
