Rubin, Gerald Mayer
Biography
Gerald Rubin first came to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as part of the Undergraduate Research Program in the early 70s, working under Lionel Crawford and Ray Gesteland before moving to Cambridge to earn his Ph.D. in molecular biology. He did postdoctoral work at Stanford University School of Medicine and became an assistant professor of biological chemistry at Harvard Medical School prior to commencing his genetics professorship at Berkeley in 1983. He is a professor of Genetics and Development at the University of California, Berkeley. Currently, as Vice President and Director of the Janelia Research Campus at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Ashburn, Virginia, directs scientific programs that are developing biological and computational tools for transforming the study of biology and medicine. The tools developed at Janelia are capable of analyzing and displaying the vast amount of information available from the genomic sequencing of the fruit fly, among others. These techniques are used to decipher gene regulation and expression at a genome-wide level in Drosophila and determine the function of certain fruit fly genes.
Gerald Rubin is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine. He is a recipient of the American Chemical Society Eli Lilly Award in biological chemistry.
