Stuart Levine received his bachelor’s degree in biology from MIT (’97), and his doctorate from Harvard University, where he trained with Professors Robert Kingston and William Forrester developing protein purification strategies and biochemical assays to study how protein complexes repress transcription. As a postdoctoral associate with Koch Institute member Richard Young at the Whitehead Institute, Levine developed bioinformatics approaches to analyzing genome-wide data including some of the earliest ChIP-seq, RNAseq and smallRNA-seq datasets.
Levine became Facility Director of the Integrated Genomics and Bioinformatics Core in 2008. Levine has served as president of the Northeast Regional Laboratory Staff and Core Directors (NERLSCD) since 2017 and was previously the chair of the Association of Biomolecular Research Facilities DNA Sequencing Research Group (2014-2018) and co-chair of the Genomics-Bioinformatics Research Group (2018-2020). Levine has received both the MIT Infinite Mile Award and MIT Excellence Award.
