Leroy "Lee" Edward Hood (born October 10, 1938) is an American
biologist
who has served on the faculties at the California Institute of Technology
(Caltech) and the University of Washington.Hood has developed ground-breaking scientific instruments which made possible
major advances in the biological sciences and the medical sciences. These
include the first gas phase protein
sequencer (1982), for determining the amino acids that make up a
given protein; a DNA synthesizer (1983), to synthesize short
sections of DNA; first automated DNA sequencer
(1986), to identify the order of nucleotides in DNA; ink-jet oligonucleotide
technology for synthesizing DNA and nanostring technology for analyzing single
molecules of DNA and RNA.The protein sequencer, DNA synthesizer, peptide
synthesizer, and DNA sequencer were commercialized through Applied Biosystems, Inc. and the ink-jet
technology was commercialized through Agilent Technologies.The automated DNA sequencer was an enabling technology for
the Human Genome Project.The peptide synthesizer was used in the synthesis of the HIV protease
by Stephen Kent and others, and the
development of a protease inhibitor for AIDS treatment.Hood
established the first cross-disciplinary biology department, the Department of
Molecular Biotechnology (MBT), at the University of Washington in 1992, and
co-founded the Institute for Systems Biology in 2000. Hood is credited with introducing the term "systems
biology", and advocates for "P4 medicine", medicine that is
"predictive, personalized, preventive, and participatory." Scientific American counted him among the
10 most influential people in the field of biotechnology in 2015.
