Margaret "Minx" T. Fuller is an American developmental biologist known for her research on the malegerm line and defining the role of the stem cell environment (the hub cells that establish the niche of particular cells) in specifying cell fate and differentiation.[1][2]
Fuller is the Reed-Hodgson Professor of Human Biology at Stanford University, and former chair of the Stanford Department of Developmental Biology.
