National Academy of Science The National Academy of Sciences is comprised of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Members and foreign associates are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.

Thirty-five Rockefeller University scientists are members or foreign associates of The National Academy of Sciences.



National Academy of ScienceC. David Allis, Ph.D., is a leader in the emerging field of epigenetics. He studies chemical changes to proteins in the cell nucleus called histones. The enzymes that effect these changes, which result in the activation or silencing of genes, are promising targets for the development of drugs to treat diseases such as cancer.



National Academy of ScienceCharles Rice, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading virologists. His research team recently developed a method for producing an infectious form of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) that can thrive in laboratory cultures. This system lays the foundation for future test tube studies of HCV and the development of new drugs.
