Abstract
Nigel Holder, who has died aged 45, was Professor and Head of the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at University College London, a post he took up in October 1997. During his career, Nigel made major contributions to our understanding of developmental biology, and he pioneered the introduction within UK universities of research-based units that overcome traditional departmental boundaries. His laboratory was the first in the UK to use zebrafish as a model system to investigate animal development and at the time of his death he was studying the segmentation processes which are fundamental to the development of all vertebrates. He was also exploring the genetic basis of human disease by exploiting the similarities between the human and fish genomes.
