 trand break repair and the development of methods to edit genomes. Using t
 hese tools\, he isolated genes important for the maintenance of genome int
 egrity and created strains to study in vivo imaging to reveal cellular res
 ponses to DNA damage. Rothstein was born in Seattle\, WA in 1947 and grew 
 up in the Chicago metropolitan area. He graduated from the University of I
 llinois\, Chicago with a degree in biology (1969) and from the University
