Richard Treisman (born 7 December 1954) is a British molecular biologist known for his research on the Serum response factor (SRF) and its role in cell signaling and gene expression. He is a senior group leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London.
Early life and education[edit | edit source]
Richard Treisman was born on 7 December 1954. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Cambridge, where he developed an interest in molecular biology. He pursued his doctoral studies under the supervision of Richard J. Roberts, a Nobel laureate, focusing on the mechanisms of gene regulation.
Career and research[edit | edit source]
After completing his PhD, Treisman conducted postdoctoral research at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (now part of Cancer Research UK). He later established his own research group at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.
Treisman's research has significantly contributed to the understanding of the Serum response factor (SRF), a transcription factor that binds to the serum response element (SRE) in the promoter region of target genes. His work has elucidated the role of SRF in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.
In 2000, Treisman was appointed as a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute, where he continues to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying cell signaling and gene expression.
Awards and honors[edit | edit source]
Richard Treisman has received numerous awards for his contributions to molecular biology, including the EMBO Gold Medal in 1995. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2001, recognizing his outstanding achievements in scientific research.
