Curt Jacob Stern (1902-1981), German-US geneticist. Stern received his doctorate from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut in 1923. He then worked for two years in the USA at the laboratory of Thomas Hunt Morgan carrying out research on the genetics of the Drosophila fruit fly. After six years back in Berlin, Stern moved to the USA in 1931 and stayed there after Hitler came to power. From 1933 to 1947, he worked at Rochester University, then at Berkeley, California, from 1947 to 1970. Stern would later pioneer gene regulation and speak out against racial theories and eugenics. Photographed at the University of Rochester, New York, USA.
