Sam Sternberg Biography

As a doctoral researcher in the Doudna Lab at UC Berkeley, biochemist Sam Sternberg contributed to the exciting growth of the revolutionary genome editing tool called CRISPR. Sternberg’s work has been published in Nature and Science magazines, and has been covered in Science News, The Scientist, and various other news outlets. He is the co-author of "A Crack in Creation," a book about the discovery, development, and applications of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology.

Sternberg is actively involved in public discussions on the ethics of genome editing of human cells, and co-authored a recent article that proposed a moratorium on editing the human germline until safety and societal implications are broadly discussed. He received his B.A. in Biochemistry from Columbia University and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.

In his free time, Sternberg is an active saxophonist and keyboardist and performs regularly in the San Francisco Bay Area with the Funk Revival Orchestra, Foreverland (The Electrifying 14-Piece Tribute to Michael Jackson), and the Grease Traps.
