David Bartel
David P. Bartel (born before 1982 in the USA ) is an American molecular biologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology .
Life
Bartel earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Goshen College in Goshen , Indiana in 1982 . He then worked with his wife for the Mennonite Central Committee in Zambia. In 1993 Bartel earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University in Cambridge , Massachusetts . in virology . His dissertation was entitled RNA recognition and catalysis: I. New ribozymes from random sequences; II. The HIV rev-RRE interaction . As a postdoctoral fellow in 1994 he went to the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge , Massachusetts, where he subsequently stayed. In 1996 he was appointed professor of biology ( Assistant Professor , 2002 Associate Professor ) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , also in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Today (as of 2012) he has a full professorship there.
Bartel has also been doing research for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 2005 .
Bartel is married and has three children.
Act
Bartel discovered a number of catalytically active RNAs and analyzed the genes that code for microRNA and the molecules to which they bind. His work supports the RNA world hypothesis . In 2001 he synthesized a ribozyme , which in turn is able to synthesize an RNA strand that is complementary to a template ( replication ). Bartel was also able to show that an RNA can fold in different ways and thus catalyze different reactions.
Bartel is one of the most cited scientists in the field of molecular biology and genetics .
