“The spirit of US science embraces diversity and innovation and fosters the freedom to ask questions,” says developmental geneticist and cell biologist Ruth Lehmann, who migrated from Germany to the United States more than three decades ago and is now director and president of the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, MA. She is also a professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and an adjunct professor of cell biology at the New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine and NYU Langone Health. Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2005, Lehmann was recently named a Great Immigrant by the Carnegie Corporation for her service to society and was recognized by the Vilcek Foundation, which annually honors contributions of immigrants to the arts and sciences. Lehmann received the 2021 Vilcek Prize in Biomedical Science for her foundational contributions to the understanding of primordial germ cells and the germ cell life cycle and for her institutional leadership.
