Tom Blumenthal received his PhD in Genetics from Johns Hopkins in 1970, where he worked on bacteriophage. He was a Whitney Foundation postdoc with James Watson at Harvard, where he showed that bacteriophage QB replicase contains protein synthesis elongation factors. In 1973, he became an Assistant Professor at Indiana University, where he remained until 1996, rising through the ranks to professor and Chairman of Biological Sciences. In 1980, as a Guggenheim fellow, he did a sabbatical with Sydney Brenner at the MRC in Cambridge, where he began work on C. elegans. He studied developmental gene regulation and later began his current projects on mechanisms of trans-splicing and chromosomal gene organization. In 1993 he did a sabbatical with Barbara Meyer in Berkeley where he worked on C. elegans 3? splice site recognition. In 1997, he moved to the University of Colorado School of Medicine as chairman of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics. In 2006, he moved to the University of Colorado at Boulder where he is Chair of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. | Home page
