2002 William Allen Award address. Introductory speech for Albert de la Chapelle.

It is with great personal pleasure that I present this year's recipient of the William Allan Award, Albert de la Chapelle. This prize is the major award of our society and is granted yearly to a scientist for substantial contributions to human and medical genetics that have been carried out over a lifetime of scientific and scholarly inquiry.
