Stanley Fields is an American biologist best known for developing the yeast two hybrid method for identifying protein–protein interactions.[1] He is currently a professor of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.[2][3]
Education
Fields was educated at the University of Cambridge where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in 1981 for research carried out in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) with Greg Winter and George Brownlee.[4][5]
Research
Along with Matt Kaeberlein and Brian Kennedy, Fields has carried out genome-wide screens for aging genes in yeast. Kaeberlein and co-workers have questioned the hypothesis that lifespan extension from caloric restriction is mediated by Sirtuins.[6] Instead Kaeberlein, Fields, and Kennedy have proposed that caloric restriction increases lifespan by decreasing the activity of the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) kinase.[7]
