Beatrice Mintz, American Embryologist

---

Beatrice Mintz (born 24 January 1921 in New York City) is an American embryologist who has contributed to the understanding of genetic modification, cellular differentiation and cancer, particularly melanoma. She was a pioneer of genetic engineering techniques, and was among the first scientists to generate both chimeric and transgenic mammals. In 1996 she shared the inaugural March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology with Ralph L. Brinster for their work in developing transgenic mice. Mintz is a member of both the United States National Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
