Abstract

Andreas Prokop is a Professor of Cellular and Developmental Neurobiology at The University of Manchester, UK. His research group studies the mechanisms of axon homeostasis and degeneration, using primary neurons of the fruit fly Drosophila as a model system. In April 2022, Andreas was awarded the 2022 British Society of Developmental Biology (BSDB) Wolpert Medal, which recognizes an outstanding individual who has made major contributions to the teaching and communication of developmental biology in the UK. We chatted to Andreas at the BSDB Spring Meeting, where he was presented with the medal, to find out more about his career, his research and his valuable contributions to the teaching and advocation of developmental biology.
