ry dish, sidestepping the complexity of working with complete cells.

"Jim Rothman is one of the most brilliant researchers of our time," says Robert J. Alpern, M.D., dean and Ensign Professor of Medicine. "When he started his career, a number of successful biochemists were recognizing the importance of studying molecular processes in cell-free systems, but no one imagined that you could study vesicle trafficking in a cell-free system. Jim had the courage to try and the skills to succeed, and this bold approach revolutionized the field. Jim continues to bring this combination of brilliance and intensity to his research, and now also to the continued development of an exceptional cell biology department."

"We are excited to welcome Jim Rothman to Yale and look forward to his collaboration with other faculty around the University in defining the future of cell biology," said Andrew D. Hamilton, Provost, Yale University.

Rothman has many personal and scientific connections to Yale. He graduated summa cum laude from Yale College in 1971 with a degree in physics, and his research interests were inspired by George E. Palade, M.D., a Nobel Prize-winning cell biologist, who founded Yale's Department of Cell Biology and led the department for its first decade.

"My life's work on membrane trafficking in cells was inspired by the discoveries of George Palade, who founded Yale's cell biology department in 1973, and indeed founded the field of cell biology as we know it today," Rothman says. "It is a privilege to lead the department he founded as we redefine molecular cell biology and catalyze its impact on medicine, and a unique pleasure to return to Yale."

After graduating from Yale, Rothman earned a Ph.D. in biological chemistry from Harvard Medical School in 1976. He then spent two years as a postdoctoral associate in the laboratory of Harvey F. Lodish, a preeminent biochemist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1978,
