"David Catcheside"Bio:
David Catcheside was one of the seminal figures in the post-war development of genetics, both in the United Kingdom and Australia. He made distinguished contributions in several different areas: plant genetics and cytology, the genetic effects of radiation, fungal biochemical genetics, controls of genetic recombination and, in his retirement, bryology. As a teacher and postgraduate supervisor he played a large part in launching the next generation of geneticists in both hemispheres. As a professor and administrator he was responsible for several new institutional developments including the first Australian Department of Genetics, the first Department of Microbiology at Birmingham and, perhaps most importantly, the Research School of Biological Sciences of the Australian National University.

Sign in to add mentor| James Montagu Frank Drummond | research assistant | 1928-1931 | University of Glasgow | |
| (After gaining his B.Sc. David did not proceed to a Ph.D., since that would have required him to live at his parents' expense, the grants then awarded covering only fees and fares. Academic positions were few and far between, but he was fortunate to be off) | ||||
| Reginald Ruggles Gates | research scientist | Kings College London | ||
| (Throughout his five years on the staff at King's he continued work on Oenothera, initially with Ruggles Gates but later by himself. ) | ||||
