Phillip Zamore, Ph.D.

Chair and Professor, RNA Therapeutics Institute
Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Gretchen Stone Cook Professor of Biomedical Sciences
University of Massachusetts

Dr. Zamore received his A.B. (1986) and Ph.D. (1992) degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Harvard University. He then pursued postdoctoral studies on the role of the RNA binding proteins in Drosophila development at The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 2023, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine. His laboratory studies small RNA silencing pathways in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, including RNA interference (RNAi), microRNA, and PIWI-interacting RNA pathways. Dr. Zamore and his collaborators seek to use these insights to design therapies for human diseases.
