Daniel L. Hartl is a scientist and educator. He is currently Higgins Professor of Biology
in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research
interests include evolutionary genomics, molecular evolution and population genetics. He is
a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In
addition to more than 300 scientific articles, Hartl has authored or coauthored 20 books
including Human Genetics, Principles of Population Genetics, Primer of
Population Genetics, Genetics: Analysis of Genes and Genomes, and Essential
Genetics: A Genomics Perspective.
Professor Hartl's graduate training was at University of Wisconsin. After postdoctoral study
at the University of California in Berkeley, he assumed faculty positions at the University
of Minnesota, Purdue University , and Washington University in St. Louis, before joining Harvard.
At Washington University he served as Head of the Department of Genetics and Director of the
Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences, and he has also served as Chairman of his department
at Harvard. Hartl has been honored with the Samuel Weiner Outstanding Scholar Award and Medal, a
National Aeronautics and Space Administration Predoctoral Traineeship, and a National Institutes
of Health Research Career Development Award. He is also a Past President of the Genetics Society
of America and the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution. He has served on the Board of
Directors and the Executive Committee of the Genetics Society of America, the National Institutes
of Health Genetics Study Section, the National Institutes of Health Genetic Basis of Disease
Review Committee, the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Research Opportunities in Biology,
the National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation, and on
the Editorial Boards of Genetics, Annual Review of Genetics, Molecular Biology and Evolution,
Molecular Phylogenetics, Molecular Ecology, Journal of Genetics, Theoretical Population Biology,
and BioScience.
Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from Professor Hartl's laboratory have gone on to
positions in academia, research and industry. Graduates with faculty positions in the United
States are currently at Stanford University, Cornell University, Tufts University, Emory
University, University of Connecticut, State University of New York at Stony Brook, New York
University, University of Minnesota, University of Pittsburgh, University of Arizona, University
of Hawaii, University of Nebraska, and Wright State University. Graduates with faculty positions
abroad are at the University of Cambridge (England), University of Munich (Germany), University
of Porto (Portugal), University of Cork (Ireland), University of Nagoya (Japan), University of
Tromso (Norway), and University of Florence (Italy). Graduates with research affiliations are
at the American Museum of Natural History (New York), CNRS Evolutionary Biology (Paris, France),
Scottish Crop Research Institute (Dundee, Scotland) and CSIRO Division of Plant Industry
(Canberra, Australia). Other graduates have positions in industry with Novartis, AstraZeneca,
Biogen, Immunex, and Sigma-Aldrich.
