Richard Lockshin
Biography
Richard A Lockshin, born in Ohio, cannot recall a time when he did not want to be a biologist. That worked out, as he received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Harvard. He taught at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and later at St. John's University in New York, and is currently Professor Emeritus at St. John's. As a research scientist he is known for his studies of programmed cell death or apoptosis, now a major research topic, a field of which he is considered to be a founder. He has well over one hundred research publications, including several technical books in the field. He resides with his wife on Long Island, New York.
