Director of the Whitehead Institute/MIT Middle for Genome Research, one of the big three genome laboratories that between them sequenced most of the people genome.
Born in Brooklyn in 1957, Lander designed a flavor for genuine arithmetic at university, successful a nationwide rivalry for university learners at the age of 17. He went on to research arithmetic at New york before going to Oxford as a Rhodes Student where he accomplished his DPhil. But he says he discovered arithmetic too monastic and on his come back to the USA he discovered himself coaching overall costs to business learners at Harvard.
A opportunity release to statistical chemistry led him to fit sessions in chemistry around his sessions and to invest his nights studying how to replicated fruit fly body genes.
While still lecturing at Harvard, in 1985 he was hired a other at the MIT affiliated Whitehead Institution for Biomedical Research. Four decades later, he shifted completely to MIT. At Whitehead Lander designed his major medical attention creating techniques of getting details from the people genome that could used, in concept, to discover the foundation complicated people condition. He soon realized that the techniques would be ineffective without finish resources for examining the people genome.
