rdf:langString David G. Drubin is an American biologist, academic, and researcher. He is a Distinguished Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Berkeley where he holds the Ernette Comby Chair in Microbiology. Drubin has published over 220 papers. His research spans the areas of cell biology, genetics, and biochemistry. The approaches employed for these studies include real-time imaging of live cells, genome editing, mathematical modeling, genetics, and biochemistry. His lab studies human stem cells, stem-cell derived organoids, Zebrafish, and budding yeast to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that underlie highly dynamic subcellular events. Drubin is a Fellow of American Society for Cell Biology, and a Senior Fellow at the Allen Institute for Cell Science. He served as Editor-in-Chief for Molecular Biology of the Cell for 10 years, advocating for civil and constructive peer review. At the 2012 ASCB annual meeting in San Francisco he organized a meeting of journal editors to discuss the harmful effects of the Journal Impact Factor. This meeting produced the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment and earned the leaders of the effort SPARC Innovator Award recognition. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2022.
