Stephen Ronald Quake (born 1969) is an American physicist, inventor, and entrepreneur.[1]
Education and career
Quake earned his
Quake was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2013 for achievements in single-cell analysis and large-scale integration of microfluidic devices. He has also been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, the American Physical Society, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
He is the recipient of numerous international awards, including the Human Frontiers of Science Nakasone Prize, the
Quake is known for his new approaches to biological measurement. He has made contributions to the field of microfluidics, including the invention of microfluidic large scale integration, and developed applications of microfluidics to structural biology, drug discovery, and molecular affinity measurements. He has also made contributions to the field of genomics, including single molecule DNA sequencing, techniques to perform single cell gene expression and genome sequencing, the development of non-invasive prenatal diagnostics to replace amniocentesis, prenatal genome sequencing, non-invasive tests for heart transplant rejection, and the development of approaches to sequence and analyze an individual's immune system.[1] His genome was the subject of clinical annotation by a large team in the Stanford Hospital.
Since 2022, Quake has been the head of the Chan Zuckerberg Institute Science division.
