Maurice Leonard Seligman [1] is an American molecular geneticist. [2] He is the John P. and Magdalena R. Dexter Professor of Biology at Pomona College in Claremont, California. [2] His work focuses on engineering homing endonucleases. [2]
Early life
Seligman completed his undergraduate work at the University of California, San Diego, before earning his doctorate at the University of Washington. [2] He then completed a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship in 1987. [2]
Career
Seligman began teaching at Pomona College in 1996. [2] He is currently the John P. and Magdalena R. Dexter Professor of Biology. [2] His work focuses on engineering homing endonucleases. [2]
In 2013, Seligman was called as an expert witness in a biotechnology patent lawsuit between French firm Cellectis and Precision BioSciences, a smaller American firm. Both firms had developed technology building upon his lab's work in genetic engineering. He testified for Precision BioSciences, which ultimately won the case. [1]
Recognition
In 2000, Seligman won Pomona's Wig Distinguished Professor Award, the college's highest faculty honor, in recognition of his teaching. [2] [3] In 2016, he received a Claremont Colleges diversity and inclusion award. [4]
