Scott E. Fraser
Encyclopedia
Scott E. Fraser is an American biologist
. He is the Anna L. Rosen Professor of Biology and Professor of Engineering and Applied Science at the California Institute of Technology
, where he is director of the Biological Imaging Center and the founding director of the Rosen Center for Biological Engineering. He is known for his development of imaging techniques for the study of cellular morphogenesis.
Scott Fraser began his scientific career studying physics (bachelor of science in Physics, Harvey Mudd College, 1976) and biophysics (doctoral degree in Biophysics, Johns Hopkins University, 1979). After Johns Hopkins, he took a faculty post at the University of California, Irvine, in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics where he served as chairman. In 1991, Fraser moved to Caltech to become the Anna L. Rosen Professor of Biology and build the Biological Imaging Center in Beckman Institute. In the Biological Imaging Center, he and his colleague Russ Jacobs assembled an interdisciplinary team to design and construct a new generation of light and MRI microscopes. He worked with colleagues to establish the Kavli Nanoscience Institute at Caltech as well as the Caltech Brain Imaging Center, which he directed for five years. He has served as an advisor to several different biotech start up companies and national facilities, and has co-founded companies such as Clinical Micro Sensors.
He has published approximately 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers. According to Web of Science
