Joel H. Rothman an American molecular biologist and developmental biologist who serves as the Professor and Wilcox Family Chair in Biotechnology at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). He is known for his research on embryonic development, specifically on his work on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. His research focuses on the regulation of cellular processes such as differentiation, division, and programmed cell death, contributing to the understanding of developmental biology and tumorigenesis. He received the Shaw Scientists Award and founded UCSB's Center for Aging and Longevity Studies.[1][2]
Education and background
[edit]Rothman got a Bachelor degree from the University of California, Davis. He graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of Oregon.
