Dr. Mark Siddall is the Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the American Museum of Natural History. Siddall's research not only focuses on the evolution of leeches and their blood-feeding behaviour but also holds great potential for future evolution-based perspectives on disease intervention. He is the curator of the AMMH exhibit "Poison" opening in Fall 2013.
