Marc Kirschner is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Cell biologist known for work on the cytoskeleton and cell cycle control
Kirschner is a cell biologist whose work reshaped understanding of the cytoskeleton (the 'dynamic instability' of microtubules), cell-cycle control, and early embryonic patterning; he founded the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. His discoveries connect the molecular machinery of the cell to development and disease. Kirschner is listed among Jewish scientists in specialist indexes; his published biographies do not elaborate on his background.
