The National Human Genome Research Institute, under its "$1,000 Genomes"
grant program, awarded Gustavo Stolovitzky and his team $2.6 million over
three years to develop an electrical device, called a DNA transistor, for
controlling the translocation of DNA through a nanopore.

Gustavo Stolovitzky received his M.Sc. in Physics, with honors, from the
University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1987 and his Ph.D. from Yale
University in 1994 receiving the Henry Prentiss Becton Prize, for
Excellence in Engineering and Applied Sciences. After a post-doctoral
position in the Center for Studies in Physics and Biology at The
Rockefeller University, he joined IBM Research in 1998, where he is a
research staff member in the IBM Computational Biology Center. His most
recent interests are in the field of reverse engineering biological
circuits, the mathematical modeling of biological processes and new
generation technologies for DNA sequencing. Gustavo leads the DREAM
project, a community-based effort to facilitate the inference of
biological networks from high throughput data. He has co-authored more
than 80 scientific publications on dynamical systems, fluid mechanics,
statistical physics, probability theory, computational biology and cancer
biology. He has also co-authored 5 patents and edited two books. His work
has been highlighted in The New York Times, The Scientist and Technology
Review among other media. Gustavo is a Fellow of the American Physical
Society, a Fellow of the New York Academy of Sciences, an adjunct
Associate Professor at Columbia University and the Manager of the IBM
Functional Genomics and Systems Biology Group.
