Lewis Wolpert (1929-2021) was a developmental biologist, author and broadcaster. He proposed the French Flag model, explaining positional information in development. Made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1980, he received a CBE in 1990. [Listener: Eleanor Lawrence; date recorded: 2010]

TRANSCRIPT: It was fortunate that I came into cell biology round about 1955-1956. That was just after or just around about the time that the double helix had been discovered. You know that... that Watson and Crick had discovered, you know, how DNA rep... replicated, and it was a time when cell biology was just taking off, and I was very fortunate to go and work in Danielli’s laboratory because that’s where cell biology was doing so well. Danielli was really promoting cell... cell biology at that time, and cell biology hadn’t done particularly well much before that. And, of course, once one began to know much more about proteins and... because what was happening... how proteins were... were coded for, it made an enormous difference, and... my colleagues like Burnstock, Wilfred Stein and Eric Barnard, have all made enormous contributions to cell biology.
