Robert Clifford Gentleman (born 1959) is a Canadian statistician and bioinformatician^[2] who is currently the founding executive director of the Center for Computational Biomedicine at Harvard Medical School. He was previously the vice president of computational biology at 23andMe.^[3]^[4] Gentleman is recognized, along with Ross Ihaka, as one of the originators of the R programming language^[5]^[6] and the Bioconductor project.^[7]^[8]

Education

Gentleman was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the University of British Columbia.^[3] He was awarded a Ph.D. degree in statistics from University of Washington in 1988; his thesis title was Exploratory methods for censored data.^[9]

Research and career

Gentleman worked as a statistics professor at the University of Auckland in the mid-1990s, where he developed the R programming language alongside Ross Ihaka.^[5]^[10] In 2001, he started work on the Bioconductor project to promote the development of open-source tools for bioinformatics and computational biology. In 2009, Gentleman joined the Genentech biotechnology corporation, where he worked as a senior director in bioinformatics and computational biology.^[11]^[12] Gentleman joined personal genomics and biotechnology company 23andMe as vice president in April 2015,^[3] with the goal of bringing expertise on bioinformatics and computational drug discovery to the company.^[4] Gentleman has also served on the board of the statistical software company Revolution Analytics (formerly known as REvolution Computing).^[10]

Awards and honors

Gentleman won the Benjamin Franklin Award in 2008, recognising his work on the R programming language, the Bioconductor project and his commitment to data and methods sharing.^[13] He was made a Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology in 2014 for his contribution to computational biology and bioinformatics.^[14] He became a fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2017.^[15]
