Intraflagellar Transport and Cilia-Dependent Diseases
Joel Rosenbaum, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale University
Introduction by Leah Haimo, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Biology, University of California, Riverside
Joel L. Rosenbaum received his B.S. in Biology/Chemistry in 1955, his M.S. in 1959, and his Ph. D. in 1963 from Syracuse University. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago with Frank Child and Hewson Swift from 1963 until 1966, when he became an Assistant Professor at Yale University. In 1970 Dr. Rosenbaum became an Associate Professor and is currently a 27-year veteran Professor. He is a recipient of the AAAS Newcomb-Cleveland Prize. In addition, he is a member of numerous societies. He has been on the Council and Executive Council of the American Society for Cell Biology and has served on the editorial boards of a variety of cell biology journals. His career at the MBL began when he took a physiology course in 1959, doing his post-course research with Robert Loftfield and George Holz. Dr. Rosenbaum sTTerved on the staff of the Fertilization and Gamete Physiology Course (FERGAP) from 1974 to1977. From 1980 to1983, Dr. Rosenbaum was Director of the Physiology Course and added "Cell and Molecular Biology" to the course title. He has been an MBL Trustee and a Member of the Executive Committee, and is currently a Summer Investigator.
Dr. Leah Haimo received her B.A. in 1973 from Washington University, St. Louis, and her Ph. D. in 1980 from Yale University. She has been an Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor at the University of California, Riverside. Dr. Haimo worked as an undergraduate with Dr. David Philips on spermatoza maturation and the role of microtubules in this developmental process, and consequently, joined Dr. Joel Rosenbaum's lab at Yale as a graduate student. Her first connection to Woods Hole occurred in 1968 when she came to visit a school friend, the granddaughter of F. R. Lillie. She returned the following summer to wash dishes for a physiology course. In 1973, Dr. Haimo became a student of the same course, and in 1994-95, was the instructor. She currently serves as a representative for summer scientists on the Science Council at MBL.
