About the Author

Michael L. Goldberg

Dr. Michael Goldberg is a professor at Cornell University, where he teaches introductory
genetics and human genetics. He was an undergraduate at Yale University
and received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Stanford University. Dr. Goldberg performed
postdoctoral research at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel (Switzerland)
and at Harvard University, and he received an NIH Fogarty Senior International
Fellowship for study at Imperial College (England) and fellowships from the
Fondazione Cenci Bolognetti for sabbatical work at the University of Rome (Italy).
His current research uses the tools of Drosophila genetics and the biochemical analysis
of frog egg cell extracts to investigate the mechanisms that ensure proper cell
cycle progression and chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis.

Janice Fischer

Dr. Janice Fischer is a Professor at The University of Texas at Austin, where she isan award-winning teacher of genetics and Director of the Biology Instructional Office.She received her Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology from HarvardUniversity, and did postdoctoral research at The University of California at Berkeleyand The Whitehead Institute at MIT. In her current research, Dr. Fischer usesDrosophila to examine the roles of ubiquitin and endocytosis in cell signaling duringdevelopment.
