Molecular Biology, 3rd Edition

“This is a comprehensive molecular biology textbook that emphasizes biochemical principles and molecular interactions… I believe that overall, it’s the best text available for my students.” - Donna E Crone, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute “Conveys in-depth material in an easily digestible manner. Makes clear connections between different topics to improve understanding of key concepts.” - Scott Bailey, Johns Hopkins University “This book would be excellent for a 300- or 400- level course and provides a nice entrée into using primary literature and experimental results in the lecture.” - Harold Olivey, Indiana University Northwest

Nancy L. Craig

Nancy L. Craig received her A.B. in Biology and Chemistry from Bryn Mawr College in 1973 and her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Cornell University in 1980. She then completed postdoctoral work on phage lambda recombination at the National Institutes of Health. In 1984, she joined the faculty at the University of California, San Francisco, and began her research on transposable elements. She moved to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1991, where she is currently a Professor and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She has received the Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association Excellence in Teaching Award and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Rachel Green

Rachel Green received her B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Michigan in 1986 and her Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry from Harvard University in 1992, where she studied catalytic RNA. She conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California, Santa Cruz, investigating the role of ribosomal RNAs in ribosome function. She is currently a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Her research focuses on the mechanism and regulation of translation in bacteria and eukaryotes. She is the recipient of a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Graduate Teaching Award.

Carol Greider

Carol Greider received her B.A. from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1983 and her Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1987, where she co-discovered telomerase. In 1988, she joined the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, eventually becoming a Senior Staff Scientist. In 1997, she moved to The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she is currently the Daniel Nathans Professor and Director of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, and a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor. Her work focuses on telomere length regulation, short telomere syndromes, and telomeres in cancer. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has received numerous awards, including the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of telomerase.

Gisela Storz

Gisela Storz graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1984 with a B.A. in Biochemistry and received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1988. She completed postdoctoral fellowships at the National Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School before moving to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, where she is now an NIH Distinguished Investigator. Her research focuses on gene regulation in response to environmental stress, as well as the functions of regulatory RNAs and very small proteins. She is a member of the American Academy of Microbiology, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences. She received the American Society for Microbiology Eli Lilly Award.

Cynthia Wolberger

Cynthia Wolberger received her A.B. in Physics from Cornell University in 1979 and her Ph.D. in Biophysics from Harvard University in 1987. She conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Francisco, and The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, studying eukaryotic protein-DNA complexes. She is now a Professor of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on the structural and biochemical mechanisms of transcriptional regulation and ubiquitin-mediated signaling. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
