Biologists @ 100

100 extraordinary biologists

As we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of The Company of Biologists, we are looking back at some of the amazing accomplishments in the field and the researchers behind them. Extraordinary has many faces and there are many more people who have helped shaped the field of biology and The Company of Biologists than we can highlight here. Throughout 2025, we will put a spotlight on 100 biologists with an extraordinary link to the Company, each of them having made an important contribution in their own right. Please join us in celebrating our colleagues.

New faces will appear on this page every week. In the meantime, join the conversation on our social media channels, using #100biologists.
