(1) Genomics is unlikely to be of use in teratology studies because of the rapid rate of change in the developing organism.(2) It is also forging links with medically oriented areas of developmental biology such as teratology and endocrine disruption.(3) he has made a long study of teratology(4) Rejecting the notion that freaks were sports of nature, Saint - Hilaire argued that teratology (the medical study of congenital monstrosity) should link normal and abnormal development.(5) It was suggested, by the French surgeon Jean Riolan and the Italian naturalist Ulysses Aldrovandi, that the new teratological science claimed to understand monstrosity exclusively in terms of physical deformity.(6) This was the process by which the extraordinary body ceased to be truly extraordinary - that is, outside the realm of the natural - the process by which the teratological was stripped of its wonder and made simply pathological.(7) It is interesting to note that modern teratologists retained ` monsteru2019 as a scientific term, therefore using a word which, through centuries, had inspired many prejudices.(8) I'm already planning to have the students poison developing zebrafish embryos and observe the formation of teratological defects, so I think sending 'em off to stab baby flies would fit right in with the program.(9) We are staffed by a multidisciplinary team consisting of clinicians, medical information scientists, nurses, pharmacists and a teratologist .(10) Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hillaire was the first teratologist to classify conjoined twins, using Greek etymology to describe the twins in terms of their shared anatomy.(11) The catalog provides a source of reference for teratologists wishing knowledge of the literature dealing with a particular teratogenic agents.(12) I am one of only 3 or 4 experimental teratologists in Australia.
