“Analysis of Genomes, Variation 4:00 PM, Monday, June 8, 2009 |
 |
Dr. Michael Snyder’s laboratory was the first to perform a large-scale functional genomics project in any organism, paving the way for the field of functional genomics and proteomics. His laboratory also built the first proteome chip for any organism and the first high-resolution tiling array for the entire human genome. At present, his laboratory carries out a variety of projects in the areas of genomics and proteomics, both in yeast and in humans. These include the large-scale analysis of proteins using protein microarrays and the global mapping of the binding sites of chromosomal proteins. Dr. Snyder has published over 230 manuscripts and is editor of numerous journals including Functional and Integrative Genomics, Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, Drug Discovery Today, PloS Genetics and Genes and Development. He sits on several international advisory boards and is co-founder of Protometrix, Inc., a protein microarray company that was purchased by Invitrogen in 2004. Dr. Snyder is the Lewis B. Cullman Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University. He also holds the position of Director of the Yale Center of Genomics and Proteomics. He received his Ph.D. training in Dr. Norman Davidson’s laboratory at the California Institute of Technology and acquired his postdoctoral training in Dr. Ronald Davis’s laboratory at Stanford University. |
