Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Arthur H. Whiteley was a University of Washington professor of Developmental Biology and a past chair of the Division of Developmental Biology of the American Society of Zoologists. He was world renowned as a sea urchin developmental biologist. He and his wife often worked together at the Friday Harbor Laboratories. Following Helen Whiteleys death in 1990, Arthur planned a memorial for her at Friday Harbor. The Helen Riaboff Whiteley Center , which opened in 2000, provides a retreat for scholars and artists to contemplate, create and write. It is funded by the Helen R. Whiteley Foundation.
