Wilmut, Sir Ian,

1944– British embryologist, b. Warwickshire, England, Ph.D. Cambridge, 1971. While doing postdoctoral research at Cambridge, he was part of the team that produced Frostie, the first calf born from a frozen embryo. In 1973 he joined the Animal Breeding Research Organization in Roslin, Scotland (now the Roslin Institute of the Univ. of Edinburgh). There, he and Keith CampbellCampbell, Keith,

He has written several books, including The Second Creation: Dolly and the Age of Biological Control (2000, with K. Campbell and C. Tudge) and After Dolly: The Uses and Misuses of Human Cloning (2006, with R. Highfield).
