Victor Ambros is an American developmental biologist whose research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School has focused on gene regulation. In 1993, while studying the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, he discovered the *lin-4* gene, which produces a short RNA molecule rather than a standar...
