More recently, he was founding director of the McGovern Institute, a position he held from 2000 to 2004. His research interests have centered on the molecular biology of gene expression relevant to cancer and the mechanisms of RNA splicing. His landmark work in 1977 provided the first indications of \u201cdiscontinuous genes\u201d in mammalian cells. The discovery fundamentally changed scientists\u2019 understanding of gene structure and earned Dr. Sharp the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sharp has authored over 400 papers and is a co-founder of Biogen and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the Royal Society, UK.
