Andrew David Hamilton Wyllie FMedSci FRS was a Scottish pathologist. In 1972, while working with electron microscopes at the University of Aberdeen he realised the significance of natural cell death. He and his colleagues John Kerr and Alastair Currie called this process apoptosis, from the use of this word in an ancient Greek poem to mean "falling off". He completed postdoctoral training in Cambridge University and became Professor of Experimental Pathology at the University of Edinburgh Medica
