About the Author

Jake is a scientist who loves to learn and write about all things biotechnology. He earned a BS in Biochemistry from Siena College and a PhD in Chemical Biology from the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Cornell University. During his PhD, Jake’s thesis research focused on understanding novel E3 ubiquitin ligases and their role in modifying histone proteins to affect epigenetic signaling pathways. In executing these studies he gained expertise in the fields of protein biochemistry and molecular biology. His scientific interests lie broadly in novel therapeutics, diagnostics, agriculture, and synthetic biology. Jake spends most of his free time cycling, playing golf, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
