Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Heinz Christian Pander, aka Christian Heinrich Pander (24 July 1794 - 22 September 1865) was a Russian biologist and embryologist who was born in Riga. In 1817 he received his doctorate from the University of W rzburg, and spent several years (1827-1842), performing scientific research from his estate in Carnikava (Zarnikau) on the banks of the Gauja River near Riga. In 1820 he took part in a scientific expedition to Bokhara as a naturalist, and in 1826 became a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Pander studied the chick embryo and discovered the germ layers (i.e., three distinct regions of the embryo that give rise to the specific organ system). Because of these findings, he is considered by many to be the founder of embryology. His work in embryology was continued by Karl Ernst von Baer, who expanded Pander's concept of germ layers to include all vertebrates.
