Jeremy Mark Berg is the director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at the National Institute of Health (NIH). He was formerly a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Director of the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry[1] and author of several books, including the text book Biochemistry. Biochemistry is currently at its seventh edition and is widely used by many universities. He co-authored the book with John L. Tymoczko and Lubert Stryer and Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry with Stephen J. Lippard. He received the American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry in 1993. He is widely known for his work on zinc finger proteins including his successful prediction of the three-dimensional structure of TFIIIA-type zinc finger domains prior to the experimental determination of their structures.

In July, 2011, Berg will leave his position at the NIH to become the Associate Vice Chancellor for Health Policy and Planning at the University of Pittsburgh as well as assume the role of professor in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine’s Department of Computational and Systems Biology. Joining Berg at Pitt will be his wife, Wendie, who will become a professor in the School of Medicine’s Department of Radiology.[2]

Berg has bachelor's and master's degrees from Stanford University and a Ph.D. from Harvard University.[3]
