Steven Arthur Farber is an American scientist. He is a Professor of Biology at Johns Hopkins University.
Education
[edit]Steven Arthur Farber completed a bachelor of science in engineering with a major in electrical and biomedical engineering from Rutgers University in 1986. He earned a master of science in technology and policy in 1991 and a doctor of philosophy in neurology in 1993 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1][2] His dissertation was titled Neuronal activity and membrane turnover in rat brain.[2] His thesis supervisor was Richard Wurtman. Farber was a Carnegie Fellow in Marnie Halpern's laboratory.[1]
Career
[edit]Farber was an assistant professor at Thomas Jefferson University. In 2004, he became a staff researcher at the Carnegie Institution for Science in the department of embryology.[1] In 2021 he moved to the Biology Department at Johns Hopkins University.[3] In 2018, he was awarded a 5-year $3.3 million NIH grant for researching novel pharmaceuticals and diseases associated with altered levels of lipoproteins.[4]
In 2002, together with Jamie Shuda he developed an outreach program named BioEYES which allowed students to gain hands-on biology experience by studying live zebrafish in the classroom.[5][6][7]
