Keynote Speaker Jon R. Lorsch, Ph. D.

Dr. Lorsch comes to the NIH from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he was a Professor in the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry. He earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University and was a postdoctoral fellow in biochemistry at Stanford University.

During his postdoctoral work at Stanford, Dr. Lorsch began studying the mechanism by which molecular machines locate the beginning of the protein-coding region of an RNA molecule, called “translation initiation.” At Hopkins, his group, in close collaboration with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, developed a fully reconstituted yeast translation initiation system and used it to dissect the molecular mechanisms of each stage of the process. Dr. Lorsch also has received grants from NIGMS, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the National Institute of Mental Health.

As NIGMS director, Dr. Lorsch will oversee the institute's $2.4 billion budget, which primarily funds basic research in the areas of cell biology, biophysics, genetics, developmental biology, pharmacology, physiology, biological chemistry, biomedical technology, bioinformatics and computational biology. The institute also supports a substantial amount of research training as well as programs designed to increase the diversity of the biomedical and behavioral research workforce.
