Clare V. H. Baker  
Clare Baker received her B.A. in Zoology from the University of Cambridge in 1991, and her PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1994, where she worked with Chris Wylie and Janet Heasman. After a year's postdoctoral work with Nicole Le Douarin in Paris, she spent six years with Marianne Bronner-Fraser at Caltech, working on both neural crest and neurogenic placode development in the chick. She returned to the University of Cambridge in 2002 to set up her own research group in the Department of Anatomy. Her lab focuses on the induction, development and evolution of neurogenic placodes, using the chick and dogfish as model systems. Clare V. H. Baker
