We are excited to announce the 2025 elected members of the Society for Developmental Biology Academy, an initiative to recognize and celebrate our dedicated long-standing SDB members. These individuals have demonstrated sustained contributions to developmental biology through excellence in professional activities including research, mentoring, teaching, and training, coupled with a record of engagement with and/or service to the Society. Each year up to ten members will be elected to the Academy.

Elected members of the Academy, alongside honorary members which include Past SDB Presidents, Editors-in-Chief of Developmental Biology, Conklin medalists, Victor Hamburger Outstanding Education Prize winners, and Lifetime Achievement awardees will serve as ambassadors for SDB to amplify our mission and values.
