Andrea Hilary Brand (born March 9, 1959)[1] is the Herchel Smith Professor of Molecular Biology and a Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge. She heads a lab investigating nervous system development[2][3] at the Gurdon Institute[4] and the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience.[5][6][7][8][9] She developed the GAL4/UAS system with Norbert Perrimon[10] which has been described as “a fly geneticist's Swiss army knife”.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
