Tyler, Albert, 1906-....
Variant namesBiographical Sketch
Albert Tyler (1906-1968), Caltech professor of biology, was born in Brooklyn, New York, and received his bachelor's degree in 1927 from Columbia University. In 1928 he accompanied Thomas Hunt Morgan from Columbia to Caltech, as Morgan came to California to set up a new biology program. Tyler subsequently became Caltech's first PhD in biology (1929).
Tyler's lifelong devotion was to embryology, especially of marine organisms. During his years at Caltech he expanded classical embryology by the application of new methods from genetics and molecular biology. He was especially known for his studies of fertilization and his work on the chemistry and physiology of the fertilization process, and for his studies of embryogenesis in sea urchins. Tyler was the author of over 200 scientific papers.
