About the Author

Michael 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.

Leroy Hood

Dr. Hood received an MD from the Johns Hopkins Medical Schooland a PhD in Biochemistry from the California Institute of Technology. His research interests include immunology, development and the development of biological instrumentation (e.g. the protein sequenator and the automated fluorescent DNA sequencer). His research played a key role in unraveling the mysteries of anitbody diversity. Dr. Hood has taught molecular evolution, immunology, molecular biology and biochemistry. he is currently the Chairman (and founder) of the cross-disciplinary Department of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Washington. Dr. Hood has received a variety of awards including the Albert Lasker Award for Medical Research (1987), Dickson Price (1987), Cefas Award for Biochemistry (1989), and the Distinguished Service Award from the national Association of Teachers (1998). He is deeply involved in K-12 science educatiohn. His hobbies include running, mountain climbing, and reading.

Leland Hartwell

Dr. Leland Hartwell is President and Director of Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer

Research Center and Professor of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington.

Dr. Hartwell’s primary research contributions were in identifying genes that control

cell division in yeast, including those necessary for the division process as well as

those necessary for the fi delity of genome reproduction. Subsequently, many of these

same genes have been found to control cell division in humans and oft en to be the

site of alteration in cancer cells.

Dr. Hartwell is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has received

the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, the Gairdner Foundation

International Award, the Genetics Society Medal, and the 2001 Nobel Prize in

Physiology or Medicine.
