Richard M. Myers Biography

Richard M. Myers is one of the most popular and richest Geneticist who was born on March 24, 1954 in Selma, Alabama, United States.

Richard M. Myers (born March 24, 1954) is an American geneticist and biochemist known for his work on the Human Genome Project (HGP). The National Human Genome Research Institute says the HGP “[gave] the world a resource of detailed information about the structure, organization and function of the complete set of human genes.” Myers’ genome center, in collaboration with the Joint Genome Institute, contributed more than 10 percent of the data in the project.

On behalf of Maniatis, Myers attended a conference sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the International Commission for Protection Against Environmental Mutagens and Carcinogens. 19 researchers, including Myers, met at an Alta, Utah ski resort In December 1984 with a challenge in mind. The group explored how scientists might determine whether the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II increased the rate of mutations in the sperm or eggs of survivors. Scientists believed the high doses of radiation could have increased the germline mutation rate, but they would need methods to measure mutations in the children of survivors. Those methods would allow them to compare the number of mutations in offspring compared to exposed survivors of the bomb blasts.

After that, Myers spent almost four years as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Tom Maniatis at Harvard University, where he studied human gene regulation. Some new technologies he developed in Maniatis’s lab exposed him to the field of human genetics, and much of his work since then has involved developing and using genomics and genetic tools to understand basic human biology and disease.
