}}Ronald Wayne "Ron" Davis (born July 17, 1941) is Professor of Biochemistry & Genetics, and Director of the Stanford Genome Technology Center at Stanford University. Davis is a researcher in biotechnology and molecular genetics, particularly active in human and yeast genomics and the development of new technologies in genomics, with over 30 biotechnology patents.[1]

After completing his PhD at Caltech and a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, Davis joined the faculty of Stanford's Department of Biochemistry in 1972, becoming Associate Professor in 1980, full Professor in 1980, and joined the Department of Genetics as a professor in 1990. He became director of the Stanford Genome Technology Center in 1994. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1983.

Davis developed the R-loop technique of electron microscopy for mapping coding RNAs which led to the discovery of RNA splicing.[2] With Janet Mertz, Davis was the first to demonstrate the use of restriction endonucleases for joining DNA fragments.[3] Davis collaborated in the development of the first DNA microarray for gene expression profiling with Patrick O. Brown,[4] and the gene expression profile of the first complete eukaryotic genome (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).[5] Davis, with David Botstein, Mark Skolnick, and Ray White developed the method[6] for constructing a genetic linkage map using restriction fragment length polymorphisms that enabled and led to the Human Genome Project.

In October, 2013, Davis was listed in The Atlantic as one of the greatest innovators currently working: "A substantial number of the major genetic advances of the past 20 years can be traced back to Davis in some way." [7]

Dr. Davis is the director of the Scientific Advisory Board at the Open Medicine Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization

(EIN# 26-4712664), whose goal is to fund and initiate research into chronic complex diseases.[8] Presently the foundation is invested in The End ME/CFS Project, which aims to fast-track research for a cure for myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).[9]
