Hans Grüneberg was born in Germany and studied medicine in Bonn and biology in Berlin. At the invitation of J B S Haldane, he moved to London in 1933, where R A Fisher and M J D White were also working on genetics. Grüneberg established the subject of development genetics, along with C H Waddington. He studied the pathological processes in mutant mice, and formulated a 'pedigree of causes' of genes, which was an important model for human disease. In 1943 he published Genetics of the Mouse (extensively revised in 1952), a work which influenced many experimental laboratories.

Collection given to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre in August 1983 by Professor Grüneberg's son, Dr R N Grüneberg, MD, FRCPath. They were collected from the Department of Genetics and Biometry, University College, London, where Professor Grüneberg had worked for most of his career from 1933.

Correspondence of Hans Grüneberg with colleagues and friends, 1930-1982.
