FRANK ROSENZWEIG is a professor of biology at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the director of the University of Montana Institute on Ecosystems. Rosenzweig’s research is aimed at illuminating the evolution of complex traits that augment biodiversity and drive major transitions in the history of life. His lab seeks to understand how changes in genome architecture alter global patterns of gene expression, whether such changes explain the physiology and behavior of novel genotypes, and the extent to which adaptation is shaped by trade-offs and constraints. Rosenzweig was a lead author of the 2015 NASA Astrobiology Strategy Document and member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute Executive Committee. He currently serves as co-Lead of the NASA Research Coordination Network, LIFE: From Early Cells to Multicellularity, as a committee member of the National Academy of Sciences’ Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Sciences and as Principal Investigator of the Interdisciplinary Consortium for Astrobiology Research award ENGINE OF INNOVATION: How compartmentalization drives evolution of novelty and efficiency across scales. Rosenzweig received his B.A. in Comparative Literature from the University of Tennessee, and his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania.
