FIRST PERSON

Denis Duboule
Before Denis Duboule became obsessed with learning about hox gene regulation, he spent, as he says, a lot of time enjoying life. He played sports, he played guitar, he had "a cool university time." And then Duboule, who now chairs the zoology and animal biology department at the University of Geneva, had to read a book about gastrulation for class. Once he did so, the idea of becoming a professional musician lost its appeal. "I am not a good example for real vocation for science." An interesting point, considering his awards and highly cited research status.
