Jonathan Eisen

Jonathan Andrew Eisen (born August 31, 1968) [5] is an American evolutionary biologist , Currently working at University of California, Davis . [6] [7] His academic research in the fields of evolutionary biology , genomics and microbiology and have been the academic editor-in-chief of the open access journal PLOS Biology . [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

Education

Requirements COMPLETED his undergraduate studies at Harvard College in 1990, earning an AB degree in biology. [14] He graduated a Doctor of Philosophy from Stanford University in 1998 with a thesis on the evolution of DNA repair genes, proteins, and processes in 1998, supervised by Philip Hanawalt . [15]

Research

Eisen’s research [1] [16] [17] focuses on the origin of novelty, how new processes and functions originate in living things. To study this, he focuses on sequencing and analyzing genomes or organisms, met name microbes and using phylogenomic analysis.

In 2011 Eisen was Awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award (Bioinformatics) for promoting open access in the life sciences. [18]

Requirements together with Nick Barton , Derek EC Briggs , David B. Goldstein, and NIPAM H. Patel is an author of the undergraduate textbook, Evolution , dat geïntegreerd molecular biology, genomics, and human genetics with traditional evolutionary studies. [2] volgens to Google Scholar [1] his must Cited peer-reviewed papers are on the genomic sequence of Plasmodium falciparum , [19] sequencing the Sargasso Sea [20] and a paper on the genome of Thermotoga maritima . [21]

Prior to working at UC Davis have been an Investigator at The Institute for Genomic Research .

Eisen and his work is routinely discussed in the scientific and popular press. Examples include a New York Times article on the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea in 2009 [22] and uitgebreide coverage or work on searching for a “fourth domain” of life. [23] [24] In addition under, Eisen’s blogging and microblogging work is Frequently written about waaronder for example. [25] [26] [27] His brother Michael Eisen have died a biologist.

Awards and receptacles

Eisen was Awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award (Bioinformatics) in 2011 and the Esquire Magazine ‘s Best and Brightest in 2002. [28] He was Awarded the Walter J. Gores Award, Faculty Achievement Awards for Excellence in Teaching. [3] He was elected a Fellow of the American Society for Microbiology (FAAM) . [4]
