Jeffrey Donald Palmer is a Distinguished Professor of Biology at Indiana University Bloomington.[3]

Education

Palmer was educated at Swarthmore College and completed his PhD at Stanford University on the evolution of chloroplast DNA supervised by Winslow Briggs in 1982.[1] [4]

Career and research

Palmer's research investigates molecular evolution, molecular phylogenetics and comparative genomics. his laboratory studies the evolution of genes and genomes particularly in the chloroplast, mitochondrial DNA[5] and during horizontal gene transfer.[6] [7]

His former doctoral students include Thomas D. Bruns,[8] a Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.[9] His former postdocs include Patrick J. Keeling,[1] [10] and Kenneth H. Wolfe,[11] and Mark Wayne Chase.[3] [12]

Awards and honours

Palmer was awarded membership of the National Academy of Sciences in 2000[13] in recognition of his “distinguished and continuing achievements in original research”[14] and the McClintock Prize in 2016 for his studies of plant genome structure, function and evolution.[2] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (FAAAS) in 1999.[15]
