The 黑料吃瓜资源 (CSHL) School of Biological Sciences has awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree to molecular neuroscientist James H. Eberwine, Ph.D. Eberwine is a professor of systems pharmacology and translational therapeutics at the University of Pennsylvania, where he also serves as co-director of the Penn Program in Single Cell Biology and the Center for Sub-Cellular Genomics.
Recognized as a pioneer of single-cell biology, Eberwine generated and sequenced the first single-cell cDNA library. He went on to discover that RNA splicing can occur in the cytoplasm, established that RNA expression profiles encode cellular phenotypic memory, and sequenced the complete genome of a single mitochondrion.
To date, Eberwine has published more than 200 papers and is an inventor on over 180 patent applications. He founded two long-running CSHL summer courses, and , and co-directs the Neuroscience School for Advanced Studies course Towards Programmable Neuroscience. He has served as a member of the NIH National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Council and on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Over the course of his accomplished career, Eberwine has received the NIH MERIT award, the Ellison Foundation Senior Scholar Award, two NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Awards, the McKnight Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Award, the Brain Research Foundation Scientific Innovations Award, and two NIH Director鈥檚 Pioneer Awards. He is a member of the National Academy of Inventors and the National Academy of Medicine.
