Career and research

Lumsden has held various lectureships at Guy's Hospital Medical School and the United Medical Schools of Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital before being made a full Professor of the University of London in 1989. He has been an International Scholar of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (1993–1998) and a Miller Institute visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley (1994).

Faculty of 1000.[9]

Andrew Lumsden has co-authored a book entitled The Developing Brain with Michael Brown and Roger Keynes.

hindbrain of mammal and bird embryos confirmed the long suggested but never agreed view that this brain region has a rigidly segmented organisation, much like the body plan of insects and worms. To assist his research, he developed the Lumsden BioScissors™.[11][12] Most recently, he has focussed on the developing forebrain, where he discovered signalling properties in a small set of cells that pattern the large surrounding region of the thalamus
