Rothman graduated from Yale College (1971) where he studied physics. He received his Ph.D. degree in biological chemistry from Harvard (1976) and was a student at Harvard Medical School from 1971 to 1973. From 1976 to 1978, he completed a fellowship in the Department of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The Rothman Lab. Membrane fusion is a fundamental biological process for organelle formation, nutrient uptake, and the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters. It is central to vesicular transport, storage, and release in many areas of endocrine and exocrine physiology, and imbalances in these processes give rise to important diseases, such ...
He is married to the former Sarah Levinson, a senior executive in a national public relations firm. Sarah and Matthew are superb parents to our two delightful grandchildren, Alexandra (2010) and George (2012). Lisa (1982) graduated from Yale (BA) and Columbia (MD) and soon will start her residency in Dermatology at NYU. James E. Rothman life story.
Welcome to the Synaptopathies website. Principal Investigators. James E Rothman. My laboratory in the UCL Institute of Neurology is focused on understanding the biochemical mechanisms involved in regulating the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, and the dysregulation that can occur in human synaptopathies.
For this early work, Rothman and Schekman have shared many awards. Rothman continued his research at Princeton University from 1988 until 1991, when he became the founding chair of the Department of Cellular Biochemistry and Biophysics at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York as well as vice chair of the Sloan-Kettering Institute.

Oct 24, 2013 · The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Thomas Südhof, James Rothman, and Randy Schekman for their pioneering studies of membrane vesicle trafficking. In systems as diverse as the human brain and baker's yeast and with approaches from mouse genetics and electrophysiology to enzymology to powerful genetic screens, they ...
