Stephen C. West Biography

Stephen C. West is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on April 11, 1952 in Hessle, England, United Kingdom.

Stephen Craig West FRS (born 11 April 1952) is a British biochemist and molecular biologist specialising in research on DNA recombination and repair. He is known for pioneering studies on genome instability diseases including cancer. West obtained his BSc in 1974, and his PhD in 1977, both from Newcastle University. He is currently a Senior Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London. He is an honorary Professor at University College London, and at Imperial College London. He was awarded the Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine in 2007, is a fellow of the Royal Society, and a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences (USA).

During his PhD work, he became interested in how cells recombine their DNA and use recombination for DNA repair. In 1977, he identified ‘protein X’ as the elusive RecA protein, which is essential for recombination and repair in bacteria. After finishing his PhD, which he completed within three years, he moved to the United States to join the group led by Paul Howard-Flanders, one of the early pioneers in the field of DNA repair. In 1985, West moved back to the United Kingdom and established his own group at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund’s laboratories in South Mimms in Hertfordshire, which subsequently became known as Cancer Research UK. His colleagues at Clare Hall laboratory included the Nobel Prize winners Tim Hunt and Tomas Lindahl. In 2016, his laboratory moved to the new Francis Crick Institute in London.

West’s laboratory then moved into eukaryotic systems, where he discovered eukaryotic Holliday junction resolvases (yeast Yen1 and human GEN1). The identification of GEN1 was the culmination of 18 years of research, and opened up the field to allow a genetic analysis of the pathways by which recombination intermediates are processed. Present understanding indicates that there are three distinct pathways of Holliday junction processing in human cells involving BLM-topoIIIα-RMI1-RMI2, MUS81-EME1 and GEN1. His laboratory discovered that the Holliday junction resolvase activities of MUS81 and GEN1 are regulated so that they act late in the cell cycle to ensure chromosome segregation.
