Evan E. Eichler is an investigator at Howard Hughes Medical Institute studying human genome evolution, genome variation and their role in diseases. He is also a Professor of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle.[1][3][4][5][6]
Education
Eichler was educated at the University of Saskatchewan and Baylor College of Medicine where he was awarded his PhD in 1995[2] for work on the FMR1 gene.[7]
Research
Eichler is considered one of the experts in genome instability studies,[8] segmental duplication and structural variation.[1][9]
Awards
- Eichler is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[10]
- Eichler received the 2008 Curt Stern Award from the American Society of Human Genetics.[11]
- He was a co-recipient of the 2010 Newcomb Cleveland Prize by the American Association for the Advancement of Science as one of the co-authors of the May 2010 paper in Science[12] on draft sequencing of the Neanderthal genome.[13][14]
- Eichler is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[15]
