Biography: Steven E. Brenner
Steven E. Brenner is a Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and also holds appointments at the University of California, San Francisco and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Brenner’s undergraduate research was in the first genome laboratory, mentored by Walter Gilbert at Harvard. He received his M.Phil. from the Department of Biochemistry at Cambridge University, and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology where he studied with Cyrus Chothia. After graduation, Brenner had a brief fellowship at the Japan National Institute of Bioscience, followed by postdoctoral research supervised by Michael Levitt at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Brenner’s research is primarily in the area of computational genomics, covering topics in individual genome interpretation, protein structure, RNA regulation, and function prediction. Brenner has a commitment to supporting open science and development of the scientific community. He is also currently a director of the Human Genome Variation Society and is a founding editor of PLoS Computational Biology. He was founding chair of the Computational Biology graduate program at Berkeley. He has served two terms as a director of the International Society for Computational Biology, was founding chair of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health’s Data Working Group Variant Annotation Task Team and was a founding director of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation. His recognitions including being a Miller Professor, a Sloan Research Fellow, a Searle Scholar, an AAAS Fellow, an ISCB Fellow, and recipient of ISCB’s Overton Prize.
