Eric H. Davidson is the Norman Chandler Professor of Cell Biology at the California Institute of Technology. He received a B.S. degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. degree from Rockefeller University. He is a Member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the AAAS. The major focus of research in his laboratory is on gene networks that control development and their evolution. Areas of research include the transcriptional mechanisms by which specification of embryonic blastomeres occurs early in development; structure/function relationships in developmental cis-regulatory systems; sea urchin genomics; and regulatory evolution in the bilaterians.
