The Embryology Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) has played a pivotal role in the training of American developmental biologists for 120 years. This premier course trains pre-and post-doctoral students for research careers in developmental biology in a unique physical and intellectual environment, not duplicated anywhere else in the world. The course is a hybrid between a conference and an immersive training course in the science and practice of developmental biology delivered over a six-week period in the summer. It consists of a series of invited talks by internationally acclaimed scientists and associated discussions with the students spending most of each day in the lab discovering how the science can be done. Course students, who are committed to teaching and research careers in the field of developmental biology, are chosen from a consistently talented pool of national applicants. Traditionally, a number of students from each year's class move into positions of leadership in the developmental biology community. The course faculty are renowned scientists in the field. Some of the faculty serve as laboratory instructors in the course, and others give lectures and lead discussions of individual topics. The course introduces students to the embryos of a large number of terrestrial and aquatic species including current primary and diverse animal models. Techniques include molecular, cellular, genetic, and developmental biological methods with extensive use of cutting-edge microscopy. Students are challenged to formulate and test hypotheses in a well-equipped research environment under the guidance of experienced research faculty. The MBL provides a unique learning environment, laboratory and support facilities, an animal collection facility, and one of the nation's finest research libraries. Because of its unique nature, the Embryology Course has and continues to achieve long-term and broad impact in the biological sciences.

120年来，海洋生物实验室（MBL）的胚胎学课程在培养美国发育生物学家方面发挥了关键作用。这个一流的课程在一个独特的物理和智力环境中培养pre-and - post-博士生在发育生物学的研究生涯，这在世界上任何其他地方都没有复制。该课程是会议和沉浸式发育生物学科学与实践培训课程的混合体，在夏季为期六周。它包括一系列国际知名科学家的邀请演讲，以及与学生们的相关讨论，学生们每天大部分时间都在实验室里探索科学是如何完成的。致力于发展生物学领域的教学和研究工作的课程学生，从一贯优秀的国家申请者中选择。传统上，每年都会有一些学生进入发育生物学领域的领导岗位。这门课的教员都是该领域的著名科学家。一些教师在课程中担任实验室讲师，另一些教师在个别主题上授课并领导讨论。本课程向学生介绍大量陆生和水生物种的胚胎，包括当前主要的和不同的动物模型。技术包括分子、细胞、遗传和发育生物学方法，广泛使用尖端显微镜。学生面临的挑战是在经验丰富的研究教师的指导下，在设备齐全的研究环境中制定和检验假设。MBL提供独特的学习环境，实验室和支持设施，动物收集设施，以及全国最好的研究图书馆之一。由于其独特的性质，胚胎学课程已经并将继续在生物科学中取得长期和广泛的影响。
