Richard A. Gibbs, Ph.D. received a B.Sc.(Hons) in 1979 and a Ph.D. in Genetics and Radiation Biology in 1985 at the University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia. He subsequently moved to Houston as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Baylor College of Medicine to study the molecular basis of human X-linked diseases and to develop technologies for rapid genetic analysis. During this period, he also developed several fundamental technologies for nucleic acid analysis. In 1991, he joined the faculty at BCM and played a key role in the early planning and development phases of the International Human Genome Project. In 1996, he established the Human Genome Sequencing Center (HGSC) when Baylor was chosen as one of six worldwide sites to complete the final phase of the project. He currently holds the rank of Director and Professor.
