He began his career at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 1979 as a Postdoctoral Fellow and has been president of this institution since 2003.

The Dolan DNA Learning Center - the world's first science learning center devoted entirely to public genetics education - prepares students of all ages to thrive in the gene age with hands-on and on-line DNA experiments and activities. |
