S. Jane Flint

Biography

Jane Flint is a Professor of Molecular Biology at Princeton University. She became enthralled with science when introduced to the explanatory power of chemistry at age 13, and decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. After graduate training in the same discipline at University College, London, Dr. Flint began postdoctoral studies at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, and helped develop the first transcriptional map of the human adenovirus DNA genome. She continued to investigate adenoviral gene expression in productively-infected and transformed cells as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Phillip Sharp, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and from 1977, as Assistant Professor of Biochemical Sciences at Princeton University. Dr. Flint served as Associate Chair of that department and Director of the Program in Molecular Biology from 1982 until the Department of Molecular Biology was formed in 1984.
