Michael Morris                Rosbash





            Michael Morris Rosbash born March 7, 1944 is an American geneticist Rosbash is a professor at Brandeis University and investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Rosbash's research group cloned the period gene in 1984 and proposed the Transcription Translation Negative Feedback Loop for circadian clocks in 1990. In 1998, they discovered and cryptochrome photoreceptor in Drosophila through the use of forward genetics, by first identifying the phenotype of a mutant and then determining the genetics behind the mutation. Rosbash was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2003. Along with Michael W. Young and Jeffrey C. Hall, he was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.




Michael Rosbash was born in Kansas City, Missouri. His parents, Hilde and Alfred Rosbash, were Jewish refugees who left Nazi Germany in 1938. His father was a cantor, which, in Judaism, is a person who leads the congregation in prayer. Rosbash’s family moved to Boston when he was two years old, and he has been an avid Red Sox fan ever since.
Initially, Rosbash was interested in mathematics but an undergraduate biology course at the California Institute of Technology and a summer of working in Norman Davidson’s lab steered him towards biological research. Rosbash graduated from Caltech in 1965 with a degree in chemistry, spent a year at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique in Paris on the Fulbright Scholarship, and obtained a doctoral degree in biophysics in 1970 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under Sheldon Penman. After spending three years on a postdoctoral fellowship in genetics at the University of Edinburgh, Rosbash joined the Brandeis University faculty in 1974.
Rosbash is married to fellow scientist Nadja Abovich and he has a 38-year-old stepdaughter named Paula and 27-year-old daughter named Tanya.

Putin, trump and modi shaping world's future

Putin  trump and modi shaping world's future Trump's policy During his first year in office, US president Donald Trump, signed an order to stop illegal immigrations from other countries. He said keep the Americans first in America. Though it looked like a fair point but it was very crucial and very sensual topic across the world. As most of the people dream to go to US. The immigration ban was mainly targeted on the Muslim majority countries like, Chad, Iran, Syria, Lydia, Somalia and Yemen. In short the American Civil Liberties Union has called upon a ban on Muslim ban, which can have a great consequences 150 million people, and the majority belongs to Muslim. Putin's policy Valdimir Putin, clearly one of the most powerful man in the world. It was Putin who brought and hold up the Russia together for several years. The whole of Europe needs the Russian gas. Russia has good relations with most the powerful countries in the world. Though their relation with the Uni...

    Jeffrey C. Hall                 Jeff Hall was born in Brooklyn, New York, but spent most of his childhood years in the suburbs of Washington, DC. He was an undergraduate at Amherst College in Massachusetts, where he began to study genetic phenomena in  Drosophila.  He continued in this vein as a graduate student at the University of Washington (Seattle). When he subsequently became a postdoctoral researcher at the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, California), he made a lateral move into neurogenetic studies of  Drosophila  (just as a duck might make a lateral move  à l'orange ). greatly influenced him especially by encouraging Hall to stay updated on recent events in the daily newspaper. As a good high school student, Hall planned to pursue a career in medicine. Hall began pursuing a bachelor's degree at Amherst College in 1963. However, during his time as an undergraduate s...
