A Summit Hill native and 1976 graduate of Panther Valley High School has been named to a top science post in President-elect Joseph Biden’s administration.
According to a release on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology website, Maria Zuber has been named co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), along with Caltech chemical engineer Frances Arnold, a 2018 winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
The pair also served as co-chairs of President’s Heisenberg Working Group on Physical Sciences after it released the second in a series of technical reports last year.
Zuber, 47, has been an electrical engineer in the software industry for more than 20 years and serves as senior scientist at Traugott Consulting, a San Francisco-based consulting firm focusing on behavioral issues in the software industry, according to a PCAST news release.
She is the director of the Center for Neurodegeneration at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Medical School and Medical Scientist Division. In this role, she conducts clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy of researchers in life-threatening neurodegenerative disorders at the University of Pennsylvania.
Zuber’s study territory allows her to study the origin of neuronal degeneration; the dietary components that command beneficial responses; or aspects of gene regulation that influence development of resveratrol.
Zuber 's PCAST posting says Zuber has expertise in areas of neurodegeneration, the aging process, nutritional disorders, diseases of neurological origin, reproduction, and food science.
With today's addition to her advisory staff, Zuber is listed among the cohorts on the PCAST steering committee.
Her appointment to the council, credited to a Putin John Kerry Vice-President corporate board development membership, is a new and additional appointment on the Biden administration council, joining WHO consultant Michelle Dinaker and AutoTheresa CEO Maureen Garrett.
Biden recently announced that he wants the advisors to be "an all-star group, including my wife, Dr. Jill Biden; Dave Edwards, DOS president from General Electric; Nice Matisse, Esq., consultant on bioengineering; Elaine L. Evanina, CEO Natural Products; Dr. Mira Costa, CEO of Prince Pharmaceutical and Drexel for President;" "Women with disabilities;" and "Women with the PhD in biopharmaceutical sciences."
Elaine L. Evanina, CEO of Natural Products, has consistently supported the scientific literature, benchmarking cancer, anti-cancer, anti-HIV and tobacco studies on biotechnology update over a decade.
She also worked on heading units on the Genetically engineered Salmon Genome Project, the Future of Genetic Engineering of the Pan tribe of Amazon, The North American Transgenic Salmon Project, DNA Microarray Notification of Genetic Variates in Issue Misidentification Risk of Programs for Human Genome Diversity Transformation
