Introduction

Viktor Hamburger (1900 – 2001) was a founding researcher in the field of developmental neuroscience. Established with Rita Levi-Montalcini the role of neural growth factors (neurotrophic), in particular Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)) for neuronal survival during development.^[1]^[2]

Also know for his development, along with Howard Hamilton, of the historic chicken staging sequence the Hamburger Hamilton Stages.^[3]

University of Freiburg with Hans Spemann.

1933 - United States, first in Chicago and then at Washington University.

1988 - published "The Foundations of Experimental Embryology: Hans Spemann and the Organizer".
