소개

마이클 모리스 로스배시(영어: Michael Morris Rosbash, 1944년 3월 7일 ~ )는 미국의 유전학자, 시간생물학자이다. 2017년에 생체시계를 통제하는 분자 메커니즘을 발견한 공로로 제프리 C. 홀, 마이클 W. 영과 함께 노벨 생리학·의학상을 수상했다.

Michael Morris Rosbash is an American geneticist and chronobiologist. Rosbash is a professor and researcher at Brandeis University and investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Rosbash's research group cloned the Drosophila period gene in 1984 and proposed the Transcription Translation Negative Feedback Loop for circadian clocks in 1990. In 1998, they discovered the cycle gene, clock gene, and cryptochrome photoreceptor in Drosophila through the use of forward genetics, by first identifying the phenotype of a mutant and then determining the genetics behind the mutation. Rosbash was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2003. Along with Michael W. Young and Jeffrey C. Hall, he was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm".
