Scientist, Inventor, and Entrepreneur Leroy Hood to Speak Next Week

Leroy Hood, MD, PhD, president and co-founder of the Institute for Systems Biology, professor of molecular and cellular biology at the University of Washington, and affiliate professor of microbiology and immunology at University of British Columbia, will present "Systems Medicine and P4 Medicine: Transforming Healthcare" from noon to 1 p.m. on Monday, May 13, in the Hughes Auditorium of the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center of Northwestern University. Hood's research has focused on the study of molecular immunology, biotechnology, and genomics. He and his colleagues developed the DNA gene sequencer and synthesizer and the protein synthesizer and sequencer - four instruments that paved the way for the successful mapping of the human genome. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine, and has played a role in founding more than 14 biotechnology companies.
