Robert F. Wolffe

Robert F. Wolffe is an influential American molecular biologist known for his research on the mechanisms of gene expression and regulation. His work focuses on understanding how genes are turned on and off in cells, which is crucial for normal development and functioning. Wolffe's contributions have significantly advanced our knowledge of epigenetics, the study of changes in gene activity that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence itself. His findings have implications for various fields, including medicine and biotechnology, and help us understand diseases related to gene misregulation, like cancer.
