A. James Hudspeth is the F.M. Kirby Professor at Rockefeller University in New York City, where he is director of the F.M. Kirby Center for Sensory Neuroscience. His laboratory studies the physiological basis of hearing.
Early life and education
As a teenager, James Hudspeth spent his summers working as a technician in the lab of neurophysiologist Peter Kellaway at Baylor College of Medicine.[1] Hudspeth was expelled from high school for mixing dangerous chemicals and other mischief.[1]
Hudspeth graduated from
He began a postdoctoral fellowship with Åke Flock at the Karolinska Institute, but returned soon afterwards to Harvard Medical School.[1][2]
