Summary
==== As a member of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Ruth Lehmann (Born in Cologne, Germany) is a renowned developmental biologist whose work in Drosophila has helped pattern the modern-day understanding of embryonic development. Trained under the Nobel Prize recipient Christine Nusslein-Volhard, Dr. Lehmann earned her Ph.D. at the University of Tübingen in Germany. Currently, she is the director of the Stem Cell Biology Graduate Program at New York University’s School of Medicine, the Skirball Institute for Biomolecular Medicine and the Helen and Martin Kimmel Center for Biology and Medicine. ====

Education
==== Dr. Lehmann initially attended the University of Tubingen in Germany. However, during her undergraduate education she was awarded the Fulbright scholarship to study abroad at the University of Washington in Seattle. She joined Gerold Schubiger’s lab during her stay in the United States, and was first introduced to developmental biology. During the next year, Dr. Lehmann attended the Society for Developmental Biology meeting where the future nobel lariat, Christiane Nusslein-Volhard, caught Lehmann’s interest in her work on embryology and morphogen gradients in. Nusslein-Volhard suggested that Lehmann contact the late Jose Campos-Ortega at the University of Freiburg who, at the time, was studying neurobiology in Drosophila. Once she returned to Germany, Lehmann switched universities, and began working in Campos-Ortega’s lab at Freiburg where completed her diploma thesis. It was during this time that Lehmann began to characterize Drosophila mutants, such as mastermind and big brained, that had some deficiency in the nervous system. She received her Vordiplom (Bachelor’s Degree) in biology from the University of Tubingen in 1976, and in 1981 completed a Diploma degree (Master’s Degree) at the University of Freiburg under the guidance of Dr. Campos-Ortega. It wasn’t until Dr. Lehmann began her Ph.D. work that she began researching under Dr. Nusslein-Volhard. In the time that Lehmann completed her Ph.D. (1982–1985), she helped identify maternal effect genes that altered anterior embryonic development. However, Lehmann was more interested in the genes that affected the posterior region of the developing embryo, so she took those mutants with her after her Ph.D. ====

Post-Doc and Beyond
==== At the time of her graduation, Lehmann received a Postdoctoral position at the Medical Research Council in Cambridge England under the guidance of Dr. Wilcox. Here she assisted in characterizing the infamous nanos gene, and furthered the developmental studies on Drosophila integrins. However, the job prospects of a female scientist were slim. In fact, even the nobel lariat, Dr. Nusslein-Volhard, couldn’t find work. Fortunately Dr. Lehmann attended and presented at a Gordon Conference where she met and impressed Barbara Meyer, an associate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Lehmann realized that the job prospects for women scientists were much greater in the United States than in Germany and began seeking employment abroad. In a turn of luck, within the year MIT offered her an Associate Professor position in the Department of Biology and an Associate Member position at the Whitehead Institute. Lehmann accepted and continued her work on maternal effect genes. In 1996, Dr. Lehmann moved to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine where she became a professor Cell Biology. Currently, she is the Director of the Stem Cell Biology Graduate Program, the Skirball Institute for Biomolecular Medicine and the Helen and Martin Kimmel Center for Biology and Medicine. Dr. Lehmann continues to investigate posterior patterning genes and regulatory elements that govern stem cell development. ====

Legacy
==== Germ cell specification has been Dr. Lehmann’s primary focus in recent years. She has uncovered and documented many genes required for germ cell development in Drosophila. Lehmann states that germ cells are not required for the survival of the animal, but rather for the survival of the species, thus it is important that their specification is well understood. Her characterization of soma-germline interactions in the developing embryo has not only been important in understanding Drosophila development, but has also influenced the understanding of mammalian development. Dr. Lehmann paved the way in Developmental genetics. From her work on the posterior patterning maternal effect gene, nanos to her current research on germ cell determination in Drosophila, Dr. Lehmann ‘s research on early embryonic patterning and morphogen gradients has shaped how development is currently understood. Her work has not gone unnoticed. In 2005 she was elected as a Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences, and has been a full member since 2008. Then in 2011, Dr. Lehmann was awarded the Conklin Medal from the Society of Developmental Biology. Again, in 2012 she was elected as a foreign, associate member of the EMBO.====
