Remembering Dr Bengt Källén

Bengt Kallen
We celebrate the life and works of Dr Bengt Källén, who died on 9 June 2021 at the age of 92. He was professor emeritus in embryology at the University of Lund and a founder of the Swedish Registry of Congenital Anomalies. Perhaps more importantly for our organization, he was a central force who developed, nurtured, and grew the International Clearinghouse from the earliest days, with unfailing drive (with several books and hundreds of papers published through 2019) and scientific rigor.
