Biography

Robert Vernon Rice was born 13 August 1924 in Barre, Massachusetts to Laurence Vernon Rice (1891-1964) and Edith (Middlemiss) Rice (1896-1987).[2] Rice is a direct patrilineal descendant of Edmund Rice, an early immigrant to Massachusetts Bay Colony from England.[3]{{#tag:ref|The descendancy of Robert Vernon Rice from Edmund Rice is as follows: Edmund Rice (1594-1663); Thomas Rice (1626-1681); Jonas Rice (1673-1753); Jonas Rice (1707-1793); Thomas Rice (1741-1822); Thomas Rice (1766-1849); Nathaniel Rice (1792-1851); Carlo Rice (1821-1892); Ernest Everett Rice (1866-1929); Laurence Vernon Rice (1891-1964); Robert Vernon Rice (b. 1924).[3] |group=nb}} Rice married Betty Jane Marts on 13 July 1945 in Phoenix, Arizona,[2] and he earned his master's degree in 1952[4] and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 1954 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.[5]

Rice spent most of his academic career from 1955 to 1995 at the Department of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and served as department head.[6] He was also a scientist-in-residence at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts during the summer months.[7] His research focused on the biochemistry and cellular physiology of muscle contraction and nerve transmission.[8] In retirement he has taken up an interest in genetic genealogy.[2]
