Paul Thomas Matsudaira (born June 30, 1952) is an American biologist who served as the head of the Department of Biological Sciences at the National University of Singapore from 2009 to 2017.[1]
Biography
Paul Matsudaira is the son of John Matsudaira, who was active as a painter mainly from the 1940s to the 1970s.[2] During his childhood, his father gave him a rock for which he would observe from different sides.[3] He graduated from O'Dea High School.[4]
Matsudaira studied
In 2009, after 24 years at MIT, Matsudaira moved to NUS to replace Prakash Kumar as the head of the Department of Biological Sciences,[8][9] a position which he held until 2017. During his tenure, he was responsible for establishing and directing the Centre of BioImaging Sciences and the Mechanobiology Institute.[10] Regarding his decision to run the Department of Biological Services at NUS, Matsudaira stated that the scarcity of research funding in the United States is making the National Institutes of Health give grants "for less ambitious projects rather than forward-thinking, riskier science."[11]
Personal life
Matsudaira currently lives in Singapore with his wife Maureen Murray and their two children.[12]
