George McDonald Church (born August 28, 1954) is an American geneticist, molecular engineer, chemist, serial entrepreneur, and pioneer in personal genomics and synthetic biology.[7] He is the Robert Winthrop Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a founding member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University.[8][2][9]
Through his Harvard lab Church has co-founded around 50 biotech companies.[10][11][12] In 2018, the Church lab at Harvard spun off 16 biotech companies in one year.[11] The Church lab works on research projects that are distributed in diverse areas of modern biology like developmental biology, neurobiology, info processing, medical genetics, aging, genomics, gene therapy, diagnostics, chemistry & bioengineering, space biology & space genetics, and ecosystem.[13] Research and technology developments at the Church lab have impacted or made direct contributions to nearly all "next-generation sequencing (NGS)" methods and companies.[14]
In 2017, Time magazine listed him in Time 100, the list of 100 most influential people in the world.[15][16][17] In 2022, he was featured among the most influential people in biopharma by Fierce Pharma.[18] As of January 2023[update], Church serves as a member of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Board of Sponsors.[19]
